Question

∠DFG and ∠JKL are complementary angles. m∠DFG = x + 5, and m∠JKL = x − 3. Find the measure of each angle.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

complementary angles are 90 degrees so if we add both angles together we get 90 degrees. the equation is x-3+x+5=90. then we do algebra and so it goes to x-3+x=85 then to x+x=88 then to 2x = 88 then to x = 44. now we just do 44+5=49 44-3=41
