Since the angles are complementary, their sum is equal to 90 degrees.
Therefore, we can write the equation as:
3x + (4x+1) = 90
Simplifying the equation gives:
7x + 1 = 90
Subtracting 1 from both sides gives:
7x = 89
Dividing both sides by 7 gives:
x = 89/7
Therefore, the simplified equation corresponding to the measures of the angles is:
3x + (4x+1) = 90
A figure displays two nonadjacent angles with measures of 3x degrees and (4x+1) degrees. If the two angles are complementary, what is the simplified equation corresponding to the measures of the angles?
