Since the two angles are complementary, their measures should add up to 90 degrees.
So, the equation is:
(x + 3) + (4x - 2) = 90
Simplifying:
5x + 1 = 90
Subtracting 1 from both sides:
5x = 89
Dividing both sides by 5:
x = 17.8
So, the measures of the angles are:
(x + 3)° = 17.8 + 3 = 20.8°
(4x - 2)° = 4(17.8) - 2 = 71.2°
Therefore, the equation of the angle measures is:
20.8° and 71.2°.
A figure displays two adjacent complementary angles with measures (x+3)° and (4x−2)° . What is the equation of the angles measures????
