Question

Please help with geometry

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation

Complimentary angles have a sum of 90*. Thus when adding the two equations together, we must get 90*.

7x + 17 + 3x - 7 = 90 Combine like terms

10x + 10 = 90 Subtract 10 on both sides

10x = 80 Divide both sides by 10

x =8

Answer 2

x = 8
