Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The angle is a complementary angle, it equals 90°

(3x + 1)° + 29° = 90°

  • Simplify both sides of the equation

3x + 1 + 29 = 90

3x + 30 = 90

  • Subtract 30 from both sides

3x + 30 − 30 = 90 − 30

3x = 60

  • Divide both sides by 3

3x / 3 = 60 / 3

  • x = 20

Because the 2 angles are complementary
3x+1+29=90
3x=60
x=20
