Answer:

  10°, 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Setup</u></em>

Let x and y represent the measures of the two acute angles in the right triangle.

From your knowledge of right triangles, you know the two acute angles are complementary:

  x + y = 90

The problem statement gives you another relation:

  x = 2(y + 30) . . . . twice the sum ...

__

<em><u>Solution</u></em>

The second equation gives you an expression for x that can be substituted into the first equation.

  (2(y +30)) + y = 90

  3y +60 = 90 . . . . . . . . collect terms

  3y = 30 . . . . . . . . . subtract 60

  y = 10 . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  x = 2(y +30) = 2(40) = 80

The two angles are 10° and 80°.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

−8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 12 to both sides.

−3y−12+12=−4+12

−3y=8

Step 2: Divide both sides by -3.

−3y−3=8−3

y=−8/3
