Question

PLS HELP!

Two angles are complementary. Draw a diagram that illustrates the complementary angles. One angle measures 35° and the other measures (x + 15)°. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

40°

Explanation:

Isolate x. Complementary angles sum up to 90°, so that’s where you start

35+(x+13) = 90

35+(x+15)-35 = 90-35 (subtract 35)

x+15=55

x+15-15=55-15 (subtract 15)

x=40

To find the secong angle’s measure, just substitute x for 40. 40+15=55

I can’t draw a diagram, but two angles put together with measurements 40° and 55° should do the trick
