Answer:

The equation you would use for finding x in this picture is 35 + 5x = 90

Explanation:

The angles shown in the picture are complementary angles. This means that the angles add up to 90°. So, when you are setting up the equation, you are going to add the terms and equal them to 90°.

35 + 5x = 90

Answer:

Explanation:

It is shown that the whole angle is 90 degree and we have 1 part in numbers so

35+5x=90

5x=90-35

5x=55

x=11
