Question

Use an algebraic equation to find the measures of the two angles described below. Begin by letting x represent the degree measure of the​ angle's complement.
The measure of the angle is 18 degrees greater than its complement.
What is the measure of the​ complement?

Answer 1

complementary angles sum to 90º

angle + complement = 90º

Answer 2

Compliment = X degrees.
Angle = x + 18.

x + (x+18) = 90.
X =
