Answer:
<1 = 45
<2 = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <1 = x
Let <2 = y
=============
x + y = 95
y = 2*x - 40
=============
I think the easiest way to do this is to substitute the second or bottom equation into the top equation. Substitute for y
x + 2x - 40 = 95 Combine like terms on the left.
3x - 40 = 95 Add 40 to both sides.
3x -40+40 = 95+40 Combine
3x = 135 Divide by 3
x = 45
=================
Now use the top equation to solve for y
x + y = 95
45 + y = 95 Subtract 45 from both sides.
45 - 45 + y = 95 -45 Combine
y = 50
