Two angles are complementary. One angle has a measure of 40° and the other has a measure of (8x+2)° . What is the value of x ?(1 point) Responses 60 60 6 6 50 50 11

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we can set up the equation:

40° + (8x+2)° = 90°

Combine like terms and solve for x:

40° + 8x + 2° = 90°

8x + 42° = 90°

Subtract 42° from both sides:

8x = 48°

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 6

Therefore, the value of x is 6.
