Question 1011959: the measure of angle b is 20 degrees more then its complement what is the measure of angle b solve for the compliment i know that x+20+x+90 which becomes 2x+10=90 subtract 10 from both sides and you get 2x=80 then divide 2/80 and you get 40 then solve for angle b using x+20=____degrees

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

if the measure of angle+b is 20 degrees more then its complement, we have:
b+=%2890-b%29%2B20....solve for b
b+=90-b%2B20
b%2Bb+=110
2b+=110
b+=110%2F2
b+=55
and its complement is 90-55=35
