Answer:

The value of x is 19.

Explanation:

Given:

m∠1 = (4x + 9)°

m∠2 = (x - 14)°

Since m∠1 and m∠2 are complementary angles, we have:

m∠1 + m∠2 = 90°

Substituting the given expressions for m∠1 and m∠2:

(4x + 9)° + (x - 14)° = 90°

Combining like terms:

4x + 9 + x - 14 = 90

Combining the x terms and the constant terms:

5x - 5 = 90

Adding 5 to both sides:

5x = 90 + 5

Simplifying:

5x = 95

Dividing both sides by 5:

x = 95 / 5

Simplifying further:

x = 19
