Angles 1 and 2 are supplementary angles, and angle 1 and angle 3 are complementary angles. If angle 1 is 28 less then angle 2, what is angle 3
***
let x=angle 1
let y=angle 2
let z=angle 3
..
x+y=180
x=y-28
x+z=90
..
y-28+y=180
2y=208
y=104
..
x=104-28
x=76
z=90-x=90-76=14
angle 1=76˚
angle 2=104˚
angle 3=14˚
