In a right triangle, the measure of one acute angle is 30 less than twice the measure of the other acute angle. Find the measure of each angle.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the 2 acute angles is 90 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 90
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2y-30
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "2y-30 +y = 90
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 120
\n" ); document.write( "y = 40
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x = 90-y
\n" ); document.write( "x = 90-40
\n" ); document.write( "x = 50
