Question

1 and 2 are complementary angles. The measure of 1 is 54 . The measure of 2 is 6(x +1). Find the value of x.

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees. 90 - 54= 36, so 6(x+1), or 6x+6 = 36. You subtract 6 from both sides to get 6x=30, then divide by 6 on both sides to get x=5. So the answer would be x=5.
