    You have only two variables X and Y to signify the angles

    Together they must equal 90, because its a right triangle and one angle is 90

    2X+4=Y

    X+Y=90

    Solve for Y

    Y=90-X

    Set the Y's equal to each other

    2X+4=90-X

    Isolate the X

    3X=86

    X=~28.66

    Y=~61.34
