Answer:

m∠B = 69°

Explanation:

∠A and ∠B aré complementary angles meaning their measures add up to 90°

m∠A = (x + 9)°

m∠B = (7x - 15)°

m∠A + m∠B = 90°

(x + 9)° + (7x - 15)° = 90°

(x + 9)° + 7x = 90° + 15°

(x + 9)° + 7x = 105°

8x + 9 = 105°

8x = 105 - 9

8x = 96

x = 96/8

x = 12

Now use the expression of m∠B to plug in x and find the measure of b

(7x - 15)°

(7(12) - 15)°

(84 - 15)°

69°

m∠B = 69°
