Question 465596: The sum of the measures of two acute

The sum of the measures of two acute ---
Let one of the angle be "x".
Then the other is "110-x".
-------------------
Equation:
180-x = 15[90-(110-x)]
----
180-x = 15[-20+x]
---
180-x = -300+15x
16x = 480
x = 30 degrees (one of the angles)
110-30 = 80 degrees (the other angle)
