Find the measure of two complementary angles if the measure of one angle is 50˚ and the other is (X-12˚). What is X equal to?

8 answers

well, they add up to 90, so
50 + x-12 = 90
now find x.
Two angles are Complementary when they. add up to 90 degrees.

50 + (X-12) = 90

Solve for X.
Answer:
X=52
Explanation:
Complimentary angles are angles that equal 90 degrees. So do 90 - 50 which would equal 40. Then do 40 +12 which then would equal 52 therefore X=52.

(Sorry if my explanation is weird.)
Two angles are Complementary when they add up to 90°

So:

50° + x - 12° = 90°

38° + x = 90°

Subtract 38 to both sides

x = 52°

Check results:

50° + x - 12° = 90°

50° + 52° - 12° = 90°

102° - 12° = 90°

90° = 90°
The answer is x=37, but I'm not sure how it is 37. Can anyone explain the steps in solving it.

I am glad there are smart people here.

I am very happy
I am sure that they explained it above your comments.
How did you get 37???
