Smaller number = x
larger number = y

\left \{ {{y+x=61} \atop y=2x+4}} \right.

solve the system of equations by substitution:

(2x+4) + x = 61
3x+4 = 61
3x=57
x=19

Plug x into the top equation and solve for y:

y + (19) = 61
y = 42

A + b = 61       a > b        a = 2b + 4

2b + 4 + b = 61
3b + 4 = 61
3b = 57
b = 19

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The angles in the triangle and 10, 80 and 90

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles that are left in a right triangle add to 90 degrees

8:1 means that there total is 9

8x+1x = 9x

9x = 90

Divide by 9

9x/9 = 90/9

x = 10

8*10 = 80

1*10 = 10

The angles are 80 and 10

The angles in the triangle and 10, 80 and 90
