One of two complementary angles is 8 degrees less than the other.Which of the following systems of equations represents the word problem?x + y = 90 and x - y = 8x + y = 90 and 90 - x = 8x + y = 90 and y = 8x
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: x + y = 90 and x – y = 8
Explanation: One of two complementary angles = x angle and y angle, x + y = 90 is 8 degrees less than the other = –8 so x + y = 90 and x – y = 8
