Question 77809

Two angles are complementary if they add up to 90 degrees.

Let x=first angle

Then x-32=second angle

So:

x+(x-32)=90 get rid of parens

x+x-32=90  add 32 to both sides
2x=122 divide both sides by 2

x=61 degrees ---------------------------first angle

x-32=61-32=29 degrees----------------------second angle

CK

61+29=90

also  61-32=29
29=29
