What is the value of x? .

Answer 1

x = 15 for all the newcomers. also you had mscruz too?

Answer 2

If angles are complementary, they add up to 90 whereas when they are supplementary, the add up to 180. So now let's focus on this problem. It says angle 1 and 2 are complementary. Therefore;
angle 1 + angle 2 =90
x+(3x+30)=90
x+3x+30=90
4x+30=90
-30 -30
4x=60
4/4x=60/4
x=15
Therefore, the value of x is 15
