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

Question

and 2x°
. If the angles are complementary, what is the equation for the angle measures?(1 point)
(
)°
+ 2x°

Answer 1

Since the two angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees. The measure of the first angle is \((2x + 3)^\circ\) and the measure of the second angle is \(2x^\circ\).

We can set up the equation as follows:

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

This is the equation that represents the sum of the two angles being 90 degrees.
