Answer: x = 40 ; y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 59

2*x - 6*y = -34

x + y = 59

x = 59 - y

2*(59 - y) - 6*y = -34

118 - 2*y - 6*y = -34

- 8*y = -34 - 118

-8*y = -152

y = -152 / -8

y = 19

x = 59 - y

x = 59 - 19

x = 40

An angle is equal to one-third of its complement. Find the angle's measure.

artcher [175]

Let $x^\circ$ be the measure of the angle in question. Its complement has measure $(90-x)^\circ$ . We're told that this angle is congruent to 1/3 of its complement, so that

$x^\circ=\dfrac{(90-x)^\circ}3\implies3x^\circ=(90-x)^\circ\implies4x^\circ=90^\circ\implies x=22.5^\circ$
