Answer:

[tex]x=55 \textdegree[/tex]

[tex]y=35 \textdegree[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Sum of two angle =90

First angle is 15 less than twice the measure of the second angle.

Generally interpreting mathematically we have

Let x be the first angle and second angle y

[tex]x=2y-15[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]2y-15 +y=90[/tex]

[tex]3y=105[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{105}{3}[/tex]

[tex]y=35 \textdegree[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]x+35=90[/tex]

[tex]x=90-35[/tex]

[tex]x=55\textdegree[/tex]
