You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two angles are complements. 36 degrees less than twice the larger angle equals twice the smaller angle. Find their meausure.
-------------------
Equations:
x + y = 90
2x-36 = 2y
----
x + y = 90
x -18 = y
---
Substitute for y and solve for "x":
x + x-18 = 90
2x = 108
x = 54 degrees
---
Solve for "y":
y = x - 18
y = 54-18
y = 36 degrees
