OK, I've tried doing this tons of ways and I can't figure out how it's done.

Here's the question:

28. <L and <M are complementary angles (meaning they sum up to 90º). <N and <P are complementary angles. (meaning they sum up to 90º). If <L = y-2, <M = 2x+3, <N 2x-y, <P x-1, find teh values of x, y, <L, <M, <N, and <P.

I've tried doing this a ton of different ways (using the | symbol, various eqaul signs, ckmmas etc) and I still cnnot figure out how its done. ANy help plz? Smile

There are many ways to solve the system of equations that you have
presented.

Input: solve({L + M = 90, N + P = 90, L = y - 2, M = 2x + 3, N = 2x - y , P = x - 1}, {x, y, L, M, N, P})

Output: x = 36 and y = 17 and L = 15 and M = 75 and N = 55 and P = 35
