Answer:
y=70 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
If 2 angles are complimentary, they add up to 90 degrees.
x+y=90 degrees
x=20 degrees
y=90-20 degrees
y=70 degrees
If that is wrong, try this. Let's say the questions gives us the fact that x is 20 degrees greater than y.
y=x
Substituting x for y, the equation is x+x+20=90
Since y is x, x would also be y, which is 35. then x+20 would be 55.
So y would be 35.
THE ANSWER WOULD BE <u><em>70 DEGREES</em></u>, BUT IF THAT IS WRONG, DO THE SECOND ONE, WHICH IS 35
Set up a proportion:
5/200 = 7/x
Cross multiply:
200 * 7 = 5 * x
1400 = 5x
Divide 5 to both sides:
x = 280
