If two angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees.
In this case, we have the following equation:
(x + 2) + (2x - 4) = 90
Simplifying the equation, we have:
3x - 2 = 90
Adding 2 to both sides:
3x = 92
Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 92/3
So, the written equation is 3x - 2 = 90.
A figure displays two nonadjacent angles with measures (x+2)° and (2x−4)°. If the two angles are complementary, what is the written equation?
