the sum of the measures of two acute angle is 120.the supplement of the smaller angle is 10 more than six times the complement of the larger angle.find the measures of the two acute angles.

Question

anonymous · Answer

x < y < 90
x + y = 120
180-x = 10+ 6(90 - y)

anonymous · Answer

Add the two equations:
180 = 130 + 540 - 6y
6y  = 490
y = 81 2/3 degrees
x = 38 1/3 degrees
