2N+3N=90
5N=90
N=90/5
N=18 IS THE MULTIPLIER.
2*18=36 DEGREES FOR THE SMALLER ANGLE.
3*18=54 ANS. FOR THE LARGER ANGLE.
PROOF:
36+54=90
90=90

PROBLEM================ratio of 2.3
2x+3x=90======ADD 2+3==5
5X=90
X=18==WHEN YOU DIVIDE 90 BY 5 YOU GET=====18
2X=36DEGREES======18X2=36
3X=54DEGREES======18X3=54
36 AND 54 DEGREES
