ANSWER:

25° 44'

Explanation:

we know that the sum of x and a is equal to 90°, now we convert the minutes into decimals knowing that 60 minutes is equal to 1 degree, therefore:


\begin{gathered} (16)/(60)=0.266 \\ \\ 64.266+x=90 \\ \\ x=90-64.266 \\ \\ x=25.734 \end{gathered}

Now, we convert in minutes and we would have:


\begin{gathered} 0.734\cdot60=44 \\ \\ \text{ therefore:} \\ \\ x=25\degree44^(\prime) \end{gathered}

The value of x is 25° 44'
