Question 773713
two complementary angles are such that twice the measure of first angle is equal to thrice the measure of the second angle. find the larger angle
------
Equations:
x + y = 90 degrees
2x = 3y
--------
Rearrange and modify:
2x + 2y = 180
2x - 3y = 0
--------
Solve for "y":
5y = 180
y = 36 degrees
x = 90-36 = 54 degrees
