To find the value of x, we need to set up the equation 40 + (8x+2) = 90, since complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
Simplifying the equation, we have:
40 + 8x + 2 = 90
Combine like terms:
8x + 42 = 90
Subtract 42 from both sides of the equation:
8x = 90 - 42
8x = 48
Divide both sides by 8 to solve for x:
x = 48/8
x = 6
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
Two angles are complementary. One angle has a measure of 40° and the other has a measure of (8x+2)° . What is the value of x ?(1 point)
