Comment

complementary means that all angles that are given must add up to 90 degrees to be called complimentary.

Equation

Substitute and Solve

3x + 6 + 2x - 11 = 90 Collect like terms on the left.

5x - 5 = 90 Add 5 to both sides.

5x = 95 Divide by 5

x = 95 / 5

x = 19

One angle is 3 (19) + 6 = 57 + 6 = 63

The other angle is 2 (19) - 11 = 27

Are they complementary?

Yes 63 + 27 = 90
