Since the two angles are adjacent and inside a 90-degree angle, their measures must add up to less than 90 degrees.
We have the following equation:
(x + 4) + (3x + 2) < 90
Combining like terms, we get:
4x + 6 < 90
Subtracting 6 from both sides:
4x < 84
Dividing both sides by 4:
x < 21
Therefore, x must be less than 21.
Two adjacent angles are inside a 90 angle. One angle has a measures of ( x + 4) and the other angle has a measure of (3x + 2) What is x?
