If two angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees.
Let's set up an equation using the given information:
40 + (8x + 2) = 90
Now we can solve for x:
8x + 42 = 90
8x = 90 - 42
8x = 48
x = 48/8
x = 6
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
Two angles are complementary and angle has a measure of 40 and the other has a measure of (8x + 2) what is the value of x
