<PRE><B>Question 180503</B>
The measures of complimentary angles have a sum of 90 degrees. Angle A and B are complimentary, and their measures have a difference of 20 degrees. What are the measures of the angles. 
-----------------------------------------
A + B = 90 degrees
A - B = 20
---------------
Add the equations to get: 2A = 110
A = 55 degrees
-------------------
Substitute into A+B = 90 to solve for B:
55 + B = 90
B = 35 degrees
