Question

One acute angle of a right triangle is 4 degrees larger than twice the other acute angle. what are the measures of the acute​ angles?

Answer 1

You have only two variables X and Y to signify the angles
Together they must equal 90, because its a right triangle and one angle is 90
2X+4=Y
X+Y=90
Solve for Y
Y=90-X
Set the Y's equal to each other
2X+4=90-X
Isolate the X
3X=86
X=~28.66
Y=~61.34
