Two angles are complementary. The Sum of the first angle plus twice the second angle is 148 Degrees. Find the Measures of the angles.

Respuesta :

Answer: 32° & 58°

Step-by-step explanation:

"Two angles are Complementary" means: x + y = 90

"Sum of the 1st angle plus twice the 2nd angle is 148" means: x + 2y = 148

Solve the system using any method (I am using elimination)

 x +  y =  90   →   -1(x +  y = 90)   →  -x -  y = -90

 x + 2y = 148  →   1(x + 2y = 148)  →  x + 2y= 148

                                                                y = 58

x + y = 90

x + 58 = 90

    -58  -58

x          = 32
