To find the value of x in the diagram of complementary angles, we need to use the fact that the sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees.
The given information mentions 5x and 31 on the graph. Since these angles are complementary, we can set up the equation:
5x + 31 = 90
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation:
5x = 90 - 31
5x = 59
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 59/5
Using a calculator, we can find that x is approximately 11.8.
Therefore, the value of x in the diagram of complementary angles is 11.8.
Consider the diagram of complementary angles.
