Question 908865: Two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is 21 more than twice the measure of the other. Find the angles Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees
A + B = 90
A = 2B+21
Substitute the value of A from the second equation into the first
A + B = 90
(2B+21) + B = 90
3B + 21 = 90
3B = 69
B = 23
If B is 23, then A is (2*23)+21, or 46+21, or 67
