A figure displays two nonadjacent angles with measures 3x and (4x+1) if the angles are complimentary what is the simplified equation corresponding to the measures of the angles?

Answer 1

Two angles are complementary if their measures add up to 90 degrees. So, we have the equation:
3x + (4x + 1) = 90
Simplifying the equation by combining like terms, we get:
7x + 1 = 90
Subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation, we get:
7x = 89
Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 7, we get the simplified equation:
x = 89/7
