You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the measures of 2 complementary angles if one angle is 12 degrees more than 2 times the other angle
---------------------------
Let one of the angles be "x":
The other angle is "2x+12":
-------------------------------------
Equation:
x + 2x+12 = 90
3x = 78
x = 26 degrees
2x+12 = 2*26+12 = 64 degrees
