A figured displays two non-adjacent angles with measures of 3x and (4x + 1)if the angles are complementary what is the simplified equation corresponding to the measures of the angles

1 answer

If two angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees.

So, we can set up the equation:
3x + (4x + 1) = 90

Simplifying:
3x + 4x + 1 = 90
7x + 1 = 90

Subtracting 1 from both sides:
7x = 89

Dividing both sides by 7:
x = 89/7

So the simplified equation corresponding to the measures of the angles is:
3x + (4x + 1) = 90
