Since the angles are complementary, we know that the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.
Therefore, the equation representing the sum of the measures of the two angles is:
3x + (4x + 1) = 90
Simplifying the equation:
3x + 4x + 1 = 90
7x + 1 = 90
Subtracting 1 from both sides:
7x = 89
Dividing by 7:
x = 89/7
Therefore, the simplified equation corresponding to the measures of the angles is:
3(89/7) and 4(89/7) + 1 or
27/7 and 31/7
a figure displays 2 non adjacent angles with measures 3x and (4x + 1) If the angles are complementary what is the simplified equation corresponding to the measures of the angles
