Question 1131303: 2. In geometry, two angles that sum to 90◦ are called complementary angles. If the second of two complementary angles is 57 degrees larger than 2 times the first angle, find the degree measure of both angles.

angles are x and 2x+57
they add to 90
so 3x+57=90
3x=33
x=11 degrees and 2x+57=79 degrees
