Question 467194
two angles are complementary. the sum of the measure of the first angle and half the measure of the second angle is 65.find the measures of the angles
-----
Equations:
x + y = 90
x + (y/2) = 65
-------------------------
Subtract and solve for "y":
(y/2) = 25
y = 50 degrees
-----
Solve for "x":
x + 50 = 90
x = 40 degrees
