Answer: x = 34

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

A+B = 90 ... complementary angles add to 90 degrees

(x+22) + (x) = 90

x+22+x = 90

2x+22 = 90

2x = 90-22 ... subtract 22 from both sides

2x = 68

x = 68/2 ... divide both sides by 2

x = 34

--------------------

Extra info:

if x = 34, then angle A is x+22 = 34+22 = 56 degrees

Then we can see that A+B = 56+34 = 90, which confirms our answer
