Question

Two angles are complementary. One angle is 8º less than three times the other angle. Find the measures of the angles.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

complementary angles sum to 90°

Let angle 1 =  x

    angle 2 =  3x - 8

  3x - 8 + x = 90

             4x = 98

               x = 24.5°

3(24.5) - 8 = 65.5°

or

90 - 24.5 = 65.5°
