Question

Two angles x and y are complementary - which means their

angles add up to 90 degrees. Angle y is 20 degrees less
than angle x. Find the measure of each angle.

Answer 1

12° is the correct answer

Answer 2

X=55° Y=35°

Explanation:

X+Y=90°

Y= x-20

(X-20)+X=90°

2X-20=90°

2X=110°

X=55°

55°+Y=90°

Y=35°
