Question

Which equation can be used to solve for x

Answer 1

Hi there!

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:

The second option,
`\boxed{x+41=90}`.

Here’s why:

• In the picture given, there are two angles that, together, make up a right angle.

• You can also tell that it is a right angle because of the box marked in the bottom left corner.

• The angles in the picture are also complementary angles. Complementary angles add up to 90°. Right angles measure 90°.

We can use the information given to set up an equation.

`\boxed{\text{An equation to find 'x'.}}\\\\\text{The sum of the angle's measurements: }90$^(\circ)$\\\\\text{The given measurement for one of the angles: }41$^(\circ)$\\\\----------------\\\\\underline{The sum of the two angle measurements would be 90 degress.}\\\\\text{Given angle mesurement} + x = 90\\\\\boxed{41 + x = 90}`

Option B matches the equation made. Therefore, option B should be the correct answer.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer 2

x+41=90

Explanation:

Because that is square which means 90 degrees so 41 degrees plus x equals to 90
