A figure shows two nonadjacent angles with measures (2x+3)° and 2x° . If the angles are complementary, what is the equation for the angle measures? what does 2x equal

Answer 1

Since the angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees.

So, the equation for the angle measures is:
(2x + 3) + 2x = 90

Solving this equation:
2x + 3 + 2x = 90
4x + 3 = 90
4x = 87
x = 21.75

So, 2x equals 2(21.75) = 43.5.
