The two angles are complementary, so their measures add up to 90 degrees.
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
3x + (2x-5) = 90
Combining like terms, we get:
5x - 5 = 90
Adding 5 to both sides, we get:
5x = 95
Dividing both sides by 5, we get:
x = 19
So the first angle, 3x°, would be 3(19) = 57°.
The second angle, (2x-5)°, would be (2(19)-5)° = 33°.
What are the two angle measures of complementary angles expressed as 3x° and (2x−5)° ?(1 point)
