What lesson is this? I think I have already done it.

OpenStudy (xximhisgirlxx):

Lesson 8 unit 2

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

Its A-7

OpenStudy (xximhisgirlxx):

You already did it?

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

No I don't have a Lesson 8 but I think I remembered doing this before.

OpenStudy (xximhisgirlxx):

Can you explain how it's A?

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

If the two angles are complementary, then they add up to 90. (6x-7) plus (9x-8) = 90, so 6x plus 9x = 105. 6 plus 9 = 15, so 15x = 105.

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

Then 105/15=7
