Question

If ∠1 and ∠2 are complementary, m∠1 = (8x-6)°, and m∠2 = (14x+8)°, then find m∠1 and m∠2. *

Answer 1

64, 26

Explanation:

Complementary angles = two angles added up to 90 degrees

(14 x + 8) + (8x - 6) = 90

22x + 2 = 90

22x = 88

x = 88/22

x = 4

14x + 8

= 14(4) + 8

=56 + 8

= 64

8x - 6

= 8(4) - 6

=26
