The two angle measures of complementary angles are 90 degrees, so we can set up an equation:
3x + 2x - 5 = 90
Combining like terms:
5x - 5 = 90
Adding 5 to both sides:
5x = 95
Dividing by 5:
x = 19
Therefore, the two angle measures are:
3x = 3(19) = 57 degrees
2x - 5 = 2(19) - 5 = 38 - 5 = 33 degrees
So the complementary angles are 57 degrees and 33 degrees.
what are the two angle meause of complemtary angles expressed as 3x and 2x - 5 ?
