Problema Solution
Two angles are complementary if their sun is 90 degrees. If the measure of the first angle is x degrees, and the measure of the second angle is (3x-2) degrees, find the measure of each angle.
Answer provided by our tutors
Since x and (3x - 2) are complementary they add to 90:
x + (3x - 2) = 90

x = 23 degrees
3*23 - 2 = 69 - 2 = 67 degrees
The measures of the angles are 23 and 67 degrees.
