Since two angles are complementary, their measures must add up to 90 degrees.
Given that the first angle has a measure of 40 degrees and the second angle has a measure of (8x+2) degrees, we can write the equation:
40 + (8x+2) = 90
Simplifying the equation, we get:
8x + 42 = 90
Subtracting 42 from both sides, we have:
8x = 48
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
x = 6
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
