Since the angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees.
Therefore, we can write the equation as:
(n + 6) + 3n = 90
Simplifying the equation:
4n + 6 = 90
Subtracting 6 from both sides:
4n = 84
Dividing both sides by 4:
n = 21
So, the equation for the angle measures is: (21 + 6) and 3(21)
6. A figure shows two nonadjacent angles with measure (n + 6) and
3n°. If the angles are complementary, what is the equation for the angle measures?
