Two angles are complementary. angle 1 is 15 degrees more than angle 2. what is the measure of angle 2?

<2 = 37.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add together to equal 90 degrees.

Let < 1 = x  and < 2 = y

x + y= 90

x = y+15

Substitute the second equation into the first equation.

(y + 15) + y = 90

Combine like terms

2 y + 15 = 90

Subtract 15 from each side.

2y+15-15 = 90-15

2y =75

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = 75/2

y = 37.5

<2 = 37.5 degrees
