A figure shows two nonadjacent angles with measures (2x+3)°

Question

and 2x°

(
)°
+ 2x°
=
°

Answer 1

To form the equation for the complementary angles, we start with the definition of complementary angles: two angles are complementary if their measures add up to \(90^\circ\).

Given the measures of the angles as \( (2x + 3)^\circ \) and \( 2x^\circ \), we can set up the equation:

\[ (2x + 3) + 2x = 90 \]

So, the equation representing the angle measures would be:

\[ (2x + 3)° + 2x° = 90° \]
