Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the angles size = x
The complement of the angle is 90 - x
Two times the compliment is 2*(90 - x)
Three times the angle is 3x
25 less than 3 times the angle = 3x - 25
Now you have to equate the two bolded pieces of information.
3x - 25 = 2(90 - x) Remove the brackets
3x - 25 = 180 - 2x Add 25 to both sides
25 25
3x = 205 - 2x Add 2x to both sides.
2x 2x
5x = 205 Divide by 5
5x/5 = 205/5
x = 41
The compliment of x = 90 - 41 = 49
The angle itself = 41
