SOLUTION: if m<1 = 4y+15 m<2 = 7y-11 and they are complementary which angle is bigger?

Question 687098: if m<1 = 4y+15 m<2 = 7y-11 and they are complementary which angle is bigger?
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
complementary angles have a sum of 90
4y + 15 + 7y - 11 = 90 ==> combine like terms
11y + 4 = 90 ==> isolate the variable
11y = 86 ==> divide both sides by 11
y =
...
substitute the value of y to find the angle
m<1: 4y + 15 =
m<2: 7y - 11 =
...
m<1 is larger
