Question 687098
complementary angles have a sum of 90
4y + 15 + 7y - 11 = 90 ==> combine like terms
11y + 4 = 90 ==> isolate the variable
11y = 86 ==> divide both sides by 11
y = {{{86/11}}}
...
substitute the value of y to find the angle
m<1: 4y + 15 = {{{4(86/11) + 15(11/11) = 344/11+165/11 = 509/11}}}
m<2: 7y - 11 = {{{7(86/11) - 11(11/11) = 602/11-121/11 = 481/11}}}
...
m<1 is larger
