Answer: x = 6

Explanation:

We know that the angles combined are complementary, meaning they add up to 90 degrees.

Therefore, we can make this equation:

(x + 54) + 5x = 90

Then, combine like terms.

x + 54 + 5x = 90

6x + 54 = 90

Now, subtract the 54 from that side.

6x = 90 - 54

6x = 36

Next, divide!


(6x)/(6) =
(36)/(6)

x = 6
