    All 3 angles need to equal 180 degrees

    the right angle = 90 degrees

    so the other 2 angles need to equal 180 - 90 = 90 degrees

    so now you have x + 15 + 2x = 90

    combine like terms 3x + 15 = 90

    subtract 15 from each side: 3x = 75

    divide each side by 3: x = 75/3 = 25

    x = 25

    x+15 = 25+15 = 40

    2x = 2*25 = 50

    the larger angle is 50 degrees
