Answer:

x =12

Explanation:

The two angles are complementary, so the add to 90 degrees

5x+1/2x +24 = 90

Combine like terms

5 1/2 x +24 = 90

Subtract 24 from each side

5 1/2 x = 90-24

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

11/2 x = 66

Multiply by the reciprocal 2/11 on each side

2/11 *11/2 x = 66*2/11

x = 6*2

x =12
