Question #53506

Answer 1

`x=65 degrees`

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary when they add to 90 degrees.
Let "c" be the complementary angle.

`x+c=90`

The angle X is 15 more than (means "plus") than 2 times the complement

`x=2c+15`

Substitute

`[2c+15] + c=90`

`3c+15=90`

`3c+15-15=90-15`

`3c=75`

`(3c)/3=75/3`

`c=25`

Substitute into original formula
`x+25=90`
`x+25-25=90-25`
`x=65`
