Two angles are complementary is the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. The measure of the first angle is 36 degrees more than 3 times the second angle. Find the measure of the first angle

Respuesta :

x+ y = 90


x = 36 + 3y


x = 36 + 3(90 - x)


x = 36 + 270 - 3x


4x = 306


x = 153/2 = 76.5 degrees


Answer: 76.5 degrees


Check: y=90=76.5 = 13.5 degrees


3y+36 =3(13.5)+36 = 76.5 good
