Question

Find the value of x in the below complementary angle 3x(5x+2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°

Let us use this rule to solve our question

∵ The angle of measure (3x)° and the angle of measure (5x + 2)°

   are complementary angles

→ That means their sum equals 90°

∴ 3x + 5x + 2 = 90

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (3x + 5x) + 2 = 90

∴ 8x + 2 = 90

→ Subtract 2 from both sides to move 2 from the left side to the right side

∵ 8x + 2 - 2 = 90 - 2

∴ 8x = 88

→ Divide both sides by 8 to find x

∵ 8x/8 = 88/8

∴ x = 11

∴ The value of x is 11
