The sum of two angles is 137°. One angle is 25° less than twice the other. Find the angles.
--------------------
Equations:
x + y = 137
x = 2y-25
-------------
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
(2y-25)+y = 137
3y = 162
y = 54
--------
Solve for "x":
x = 2y-25
x = 2*54-25
x = 108-25
x = 83
=============
Solution: (83,54)
