Question

PLEASE HELP Solve for x.
52
(3x+8)

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

1. (3x + 8) and (52) are both complementary angles, which means that they add up to 90 degrees. Therefore, we can set up an equation of:
`(3x+8) + 52 = 90`

2. (Solving)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

• 
  `(3x+8) + 52 = 90`
• 
  `3x + (8+52) = 90`
• 
  `3x + 60 = 90`

Step 2: Subtract 60 from both sides.

• 
  `3x + 60 - 60 = 90 - 60`
• 
  `3x = 30`

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

• 
  `(3x)/(3) = (30)/(3)`
• 
  `x = 10`

Therefore, x = 10.
