To find the value of x, set up an equation using the fact that the two angles are complementary.
40° + (8x + 2)° = 90°
Combine like terms:
8x + 42 = 90
Subtract 42 from both sides:
8x = 48
Divide both sides by 8:
x = 6
So, the value of x is 6.
40° + (8x + 2)° = 90°
Combine like terms:
8x + 42 = 90
Subtract 42 from both sides:
8x = 48
Divide both sides by 8:
x = 6
So, the value of x is 6.
