Question 344381: If (angle) XYZ and (angle) PQR are complementary, find the measure of each angle.
measurements: XYZ= 2x degrees
PQR= (8x-20)
Please show answer and how to solve. Thank You!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Complementary angles sum to 90 degrees.
XYZ%2BPQR=90
2x%2B%288x-20%29=90
10x-20=90
Take it from there and solve for x.
Then go back to the definition of the angles and solve for them too.
