1 . Two angles are complementary. The smaller angle is 15° less than half of the measure of the larger angle. What are the measures of the angles?

S + L = 90
S = L/2 - 15
========================
2 . The length of a rectangle is 3 meters more than twice the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 42 meters. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

L = 2W + 3
2L + 2W = 42
