Answer:

x=64

Explanation:

x and 26 are complementary, which means they add to 90 degrees.

x+26=90

We want to find x, so we have to get x by itself. 26 is being added on to x. To undo this, subtract 26 from both sides, because subtraction is the opposite of addition.

x+26-26=90-26

x=90-26

x=64

So, x is 64 degrees

Answer:

x = 64

Explanation:

90 + x + 26 = 180

116 + x = 180

x = 180 - 116

x = 64
