A given angle measures 90°.. Then, note that the total measurement of the triangle is 180°... Subtract 180° by 90°, and the other angles must add up to 90°!
Good luck!

A pharmacist has 40% and 80% of iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 4 liters of a 50% iodine mixture?
.
Let x = liters of 40% iodine
then
4-x = liters of 80% iodine
Using algebra:
.40x + .80(4-x) = .50(4)
.40x + 3.20-.80x = 2
3.20-.40x = 2
x = 4 liters (40% iodine)
80% iodine:
4-x = 4-4 = 0 liters needed (80% iodine)
Let the 3 numbers be x,x+1,x+2
Given sum of those 3 consecutive integers are 78
X+x+1+x+2=78
3x+3=78
3(x+1)=78
X+1=26
X=26-1
X=25
Therefore the numbers are 25,26,27
