Since the two angles are complementary, their sum should be equal to 90°.
Setting up an equation, we have:
40° + (8x+2)° = 90°
Combine like terms and solve for x:
8x + 42° = 90°
8x = 48°
Divide both sides by 8:
x = 6
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
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)
