Two angles are complementary. One angle is equal to x + 6 degrees. The other is 3x +9 degrees. What is the measure of x?

Hey there!

=> x + 6 + 3x +9 = 90°

=> 4x + 9 + 6 = 90°

=> 4x + 15 = 90°

=> 4x = 90° - 15

=> 4x = 75

=>
(4x)/(4) = (75)/(4)

=>
x = (75)/(4)

=> x = 18.75

Then ,

=> 18.75 + 6, 3(18.75) + 9

=> 24.75, 65.25

Therefore, the two angles are 24.75 and 65.25
