Question

if the measure of one of the two complementary angles is 3 more then twice the measure of the other find the measure of each angle. fans 222222

Answer 1

Complementary angles sum to 90.

Let x be one of the two angles.

Then, 90 - x is the measure of the second angle.

Answer 2

one angle is 3 more then twice the measure of the other

x = 2*(90 - x) +3

Solve this equation for x and post what you get, okay?

Answer 3

180 - 2x + 3?

Answer 4

but whats x

Answer 5

You expanded the right side of the equation and ignored the left side.

x = 2*(90 - x) +3

x = 180 - 2x + 3

Add 2x to both sides and post what you get.
