Since the angles are complementary, their sum is 90 degrees:
4x + 2x = 90
Combining like terms:
6x = 90
Dividing both sides by 6:
x = 15
Now we can plug in x to find the angle measures:
4x = 4(15) = 60
2x = 2(15) = 30
So the two complementary angles are 60 degrees and 30 degrees.
4x + 2x = 90
Combining like terms:
6x = 90
Dividing both sides by 6:
x = 15
Now we can plug in x to find the angle measures:
4x = 4(15) = 60
2x = 2(15) = 30
So the two complementary angles are 60 degrees and 30 degrees.
