Answer:

The two angles are 57° and 33°.

Explanation:

The three angles of a triangle add up to 180°. The angle at the top of this triangle has a little tiny square in it to show that its a right angle. So it is 90°

That means that the other two angles have to add up to 90° We can use this to write an equation.

(4x-7)° + (3x-15)° = 90°

Combine like terms.

7x - 22 = 90

add 22

7x = 112

divide by 7

x = 16

Then the question says to find the angle measures. Put the x = 16 back into the given expressions.

4x - 7

= 4(16) - 7

= 64 - 7

= 57

and

3x - 15

= 3(16) - 15

= 48 - 15

= 33

The two angles are 57° and 33°.
