Question 675896: Two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is 42° more than three times the measure of the other. Find the measure of each angle
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = one angle
y = other angle
...
x = 42 + 3y
x+y = 90
...
substitute x into the second equation
42+3y + y = 90
...
combine like terms
42 + 4y = 90
...
isolate y
4y = 90 - 42
...
4y = 48
divide both sides by 4
...
degrees
...
x = 42 + 3y = 42 + 3(12) = 42 + 36 = degrees
