Question

Two angles are complementary. The larger one is 50° less than three times the
smaller one. Find the angles.​

Answer 1

Answer:

First angle = 35°

Second angle = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller one = x

the larger one = 3x - 50

ATQ,

=> 3x - 50 + x = 90°

=> 4x - 50 = 90°

=> 4x = 90 + 50

=> 4x = 140

=> x = 140 ÷ 4

=> x = 35

First angle = x = 35°

Second angle = 3x - 50 = 3(35) - 50 = 105 - 50 = 55°
