It's helpful to choose letters to represent the measures of these complementary angles. Let x represent one and y the other.

What does "complementary angle" mean? x + y = ??

Let x be the smaller angle. First, we take "half the measure of the larger angle," or (y/2). Then we subtract 6 degrees from this result (y/2). The result is the xmaller angle, x.

Now you have two equations in x and y. Solve for one of these angles, and then find the other. Please show your work.

the tens digit of a two digit number is twice the ones digit.If the digits are reversed,the new number is 36 less than the origi

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The tens digit can be 8, 6, 4, or 2 since the ones digit can only be a whole number, so that means it can only be 4, 3, 2, or 1.

If we try all possible combinations (84, 63, 42, 21) and subtract 36 from them, you will find the answer is 84. (84 - 36 = 48)
