Answer:

2

Explanation:

We know that these angles HAVE to add up to 90°.

First lets eliminate the extra number (16). To do so, we just need to add it to 54.

54 + 16 = 70

Now there is 20 degrees missing.

So we just need to divide 20 by 10

20 ÷ 10 = 2

So 2 is the answer

Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

Angles are complementary so:

10x + 16 + 54 = 90

10x + 70 = 90

10x = 20

x = 2
