Answer:

Complementary

x = 55

Explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90°, while supplementary angles add up to 180°.

In this situation, the two angles add up to 90° (the little box means that an angle is a 90° angle) So, the angles are complementary.

Now, we can write this equation.

x + x - 20 = 90

Simplify.

2x - 20 = 90

2x = 110

x = 55

Just in case, let's check the answer.

Substitute x = 55 into (x + x - 20 = 90)

55 + 55 - 20 = 90

110 - 20 = 90

90 = 90

This is true, so x = 55 is correct.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!
