To find the value of x, we need to set up an equation. Since the two angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees.
40° + (8x + 2)° = 90°
Simplify the equation:
8x + 42 = 90
Subtract 42 from both sides:
8x = 48
Divide both sides by 8:
x = 6
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
40° + (8x + 2)° = 90°
Simplify the equation:
8x + 42 = 90
Subtract 42 from both sides:
8x = 48
Divide both sides by 8:
x = 6
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
