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?(1 point)

 (___)° + 2x° = ___

1 answer

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

The measures of the angles are given as \( (2x + 3) \)° and \( 2x \)°. We can set up the equation as follows:

\[ (2x + 3) + 2x = 90 \]

So, filling in the blanks in your equation:

\[ (2x + 3)° + 2x° = 90° \]

Therefore, the completed equation is:

\[ (2x + 3)° + 2x° = 90° \]
