Question

Two complementary angles are represented by x and x+14 . find the value of x

Answer 1

the answer will be ....

38

Answer 2

`x=38\textdegree`

Explanation:

Remember that complementary angles always add up to 90°.

We know that the two complementary angles are represented by (x) and (x+14). In other words:

`(x)+(x+14)=90`

So, let's solve for x.

First, combine like terms:

`2x+14=90`

Let's isolate the x by subtracting 14 from both sides:

`(2x+14)-14=(90)-14`

The left cancels. Subtract on the right:

`2x=76`

Divide both sides by 2:

`(2x)/(2)=(76)/(2)`

The left side cancels. Divide on the right:

`x=38\textdegree`

So, the value of x is 38°.

And we're done!
