Answer:

The angles are Complementary Angles.

x = 55°

Explanation:

the angles are Complementary Angles, because when added, together they form a 90° angle.

•to find the value of x, we form the equation :

⇒90° = x° + (x - 20)°

⇒90 = x + x - 20

⇒90 = 2x - 20

•shifting the 2x to the left side and the 90 to the right side

⇒2x = 90 + 20

⇒2x = 110

•shifting the 2 to the right side

⇒x = 110/2

⇒x = 55° Answer...

hope that helps...
