So... let's say, we have two numbers "a" and "b",
"a" is the smaller one, "b" is the larger one
so, their sum is 6
a + b = 6

3 times the smaller => 3 * a or 3a
now, two less than that
3a - 2

that equals the larger "b"

3a - 2 = b
\bf a+b=6
\\\\
\boxed{3a-2}=b\\\\
--------------\\
thus
\\\\
a+(\boxed{3a-2})=6  

solve for "a",

now, what's "b"?  well, 3a - 2 = b :)

(note - let x represent the missing side length.)

1. set up proportion.
sin 90°/25 = sin 55<span>°/x

2. solve.
(x) sin 90</span>° = (25) sin 55<span>°

(x) sin 90 </span>°/sin 90° = (25) sin 55° / sin 90<span>°
</span>
x = 20.4788011072
rounded to nearest tenth = 20.5
