Need the awnser please

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

Complementary angles sum to 90° , then

5x + 7 + 8x - 21 = 90 , that is

13x - 14 = 90 ( add 14 to both sides )

13x = 104 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = 8

Then the measure of the angles are

5x + 7 = 5(8) + 7 = 40 + 7 = 47°

8x - 21 = 8(8) - 21 = 64 - 21 = 43°

--------------------------------------------------------

let the angle be x then its complement is (90 - x) and

x = 2(90 - x) + 21

x = 180 - 2x + 21

x = 201 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

3x = 201 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 67

The measure of the angle is 67°
