The degree measure of one of two complementary angles is 30 less than twice that of the other. what is one of the degree measures of the angles? (remember that complimentary angles add to be 90 degrees) 27 degrees 30 degrees 40 degrees 45 degrees

Let x = other angle of two complementary angles

One of two complementary angles is 30 less than twice other: 2x - 30

Sum of complimentary angles add to be 90 degrees

x + 2x - 30 = 90

3x = 120

x = 40

Answer

40 degrees

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
