Explanation:

Jackie Did

X +16= 90

equation :

x+x+16= 90

Answer 2

x=37

Explanation:

Complementary angles are a set of 2 angles that when added together, add up to 90. In order to solve for x, both angles have to be added and set to be equal to 90... but Jackie only used one of the angles, not both. The correct equation is: x+16+x=90
