Question

If x degree (14x+15) are the measures of complementary angles what is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

Two angles are said to be complementary angles if they add up to 90 degrees; hence:

`x\text{\degree}+\left(14x+15\right)\text{\degree}=90\text{\degree}`

solving for x:

`\begin{gathered} 15x=75 \\ \\ x=(75)/(15)=5 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER

x = 5°

14x + 15 = 85°
