A figure displays two nonadjacent angles with measures 3x° and (4x+1)° . If the angles are complementary, what is the simplified equation corresponding to the measures of the angles?
1 answer
Since the angles are complementary, the sum of their measures is equal to 90°. So, we have the equation 3x + (4x + 1) = 90. Simplifying, we get 7x + 1 = 90.
