Question

∠1 and ∠2 are complementary angles. ∠1 = x + 6 , and ∠2 = x + 8. Find the measure of each angle. Please hurry!

Answer 1

Angle 1 is 44 and Angle 2 46

Answer 2

>1 = x+6
>2 = x+8
>1 + >2 = 90
With substitution:
(x+6) + (x+8) = 90

Group like terms:
2x + 14 = 90

Simplify: 2x = 72
x = 36

Now plug the variable back in
>1 = 36+6
>1 = 42

>2 = 36+8
>2 = 44
