Question

the angles are complementary and the smaller is 40 degree less than the larger
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Angles are 65 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle be x.

Then other angle will be (x-40).

Since they are complementary so,

x + (x-40) = 90

x + x - 40 = 90

2x - 40 = 90

2x = 130

x = 65

One angle is 65, then other will be (65 - 40) or 25.

Answer 2

let the angle be x

so the smaller will be x-40

EQUATION

x+(x-40)=90

2x-40=90

2x=90+40

2x=130

x=130/2

x=65

so the second angle will be 65-40=25
