Question

for two adjacent angles with measures x and (x+30) that makes up a 90 degree angle what is x

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we can set up an equation using the fact that the sum of adjacent angles forming a 90-degree angle is equal to 90 degrees.

x + (x + 30) = 90

Combining like terms:

2x + 30 = 90

Subtracting 30 from both sides:

2x = 60

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 30

Therefore, the value of x is 30.
