Question

Angle A and angle B are complementary angles. If m angle A = (x + 8) and m

angle B = (8x + 1)", then find the measure of angle A.

Answer 1

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 8) + (8x + 1) = 90

Combine like terms to get:

9x + 9 = 90

Subtract 9 on both sides:

9x = 81

Divide by 9:

x = 9

Plug in 9 for x in
9 + 8 = ?

9 + 8 = 17
