SOLUTION: Find two angles whose sun is a right angle such that one angle is 30 degrees more than 1/3 the other angle.
I was thinking the equation would be set up as follows:
1/3x+30=90

I don't believe I'm right tho.
Thank you very much for your help!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find two angles whose sum is a right angle such that one angle is 30 degrees more than 1/3 the other angle.

You are close, but I think it would be:
let a = "other angle"
then a + 30 = "one angle"
so we have
(a + 30) + a = 90
multiply eq by 3 to get rid of the annoying fraction
a + 90 + 3a = 270
4a = 270 - 90
4a = 180
a = 180/4
a = 45 degrees is the other angle
then (45) + 30 = 45 degrees also the "one angle"
