A figure shows two non adjacent angles with measures (2x+3) and 2x . If the angles are complementary what is the equation for the angle measures ?

Answer 1

Since the angles are complementary, the sum of their measures should be 90 degrees.

(2x+3) + 2x = 90

Combining like terms:

4x + 3 = 90

Subtracting 3 from both sides:

4x = 87

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 21.75

So, the equation for the angle measures is:

(2(21.75) + 3) and 2(21.75)
