A figure displays two nonadjacent angles with measures (x+2)° and (2x−4)° . If the two angles are complementary, what is the written equation?

11 answers

The definition of complementary angles is that the sum of their measures is equal to 90 degrees. Therefore, we have the equation:

(x+2) + (2x - 4) = 90

Simplifying the equation, we have:

3x - 2 = 90

Adding 2 to both sides of the equation, we get:

3x = 92

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we have:

x = 92/3

So the written equation is:

(x+2) + (2x - 4) = 90
A figure displays two adjacent complementary angles with measures (x+3)° and (4x−2)° . What is the equation of the angles measures?
The definition of complementary angles is that the sum of their measures is equal to 90 degrees. Therefore, we have the equation:

(x+3) + (4x - 2) = 90

Simplifying the equation, we have:

5x + 1 = 90

Subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation, we get:

5x = 89

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we have:

x = 89/5

So the equation of the angle measures is:

(x+3) + (4x - 2) = 90
What is the equation for determining the angle measures?
The equation for determining the angle measures of two adjacent complementary angles is:

(x+3) + (4x-2) = 90
two complementary angles have measures (4x)° and (2x)° . What is the value of x and the two angle measures?
According to the definition of complementary angles, the sum of their measures is equal to 90 degrees. Therefore, we have the equation:

(4x) + (2x) = 90

Simplifying the equation, we have:

6x = 90

Dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we get:

x = 15

Now we can substitute the value of x back into the expressions of the angle measures to find their values.

The first angle measure is (4x)° = 4(15)° = 60°.

The second angle measure is (2x)° = 2(15)° = 30°.

So, the value of x is 15 and the two angle measures are 60° and 30°.
In a figure, one complementary angle has a measure of 36° and the other has a measure of (x−3)° . What is the value of x and the value of the unknown angle measure?
According to the definition of complementary angles, the sum of their measures is equal to 90 degrees. Therefore, we have the equation:

36 + (x-3) = 90

Simplifying the equation, we have:

x - 3 = 90 - 36
x - 3 = 54

Adding 3 to both sides of the equation, we get:

x = 57

So, the value of x is 57.

To find the value of the unknown angle measure, we substitute x=57 back into the expression (x-3)°:

(x-3)° = (57-3)° = 54°

So, the value of the unknown angle measure is 54°.
1. (x + 2) + (2x - 4) = 90
2. (x + 3) + (4x - 2) = 90
3. (7x - 9) + 4x = 90
4. x = 15, (4x) = 60, and (2x) = 30
5. x = 57, unknown angle measure = 54
