complementary angles sum to 90º
angle + complement = 90º
Use an algebraic equation to find the measures of the two angles described below. Begin by letting x represent the degree measure of the angle's complement.
The measure of the angle is 18 degrees greater than its complement.
What is the measure of the complement?

Compliment = X degrees.
Angle = x + 18.
x + (x+18) = 90.
X =
Angle = x + 18.
x + (x+18) = 90.
X =
