Let x and y represent the two angles.
.. x + y = 90 . . . . . . two angles are complementary
.. x -2y = 15 . . . . . . one angle is 15 more than twice the other (y = smaller angle)
Subtract the second equation from the first.
.. (x +y) -(x -2y) = (90) -(15)
.. 3y = 75
.. y = 25
The smaller angle is 25 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:
4/8 = .5 pounds/year
Answer:
3m^3/8 + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
It can't be solved but that's the most simplified version.
All the answer is is you are multiplying by 10 everytime.
Answer:
x/y = 88/7
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=19
x+3y=12y+5
First rewrite second equation as:
x +3y-12y = 5
Combine like terms:
x-9y = 5
Now you have:
x+y=19
x-9y = 5
Elimination method Subtract 2 equations:
10y = 14 Divide both sides by 10
y = 14/10 = 7/5
Plug in y in any given equation and calculate x:
x+ 7/5 = 19 Subtract 7/5 from 19
x = 88/5 = 17 3/5
x/y = 88/5 : 7/5
