Question

Two complementary angles are represented by x and x+14 . find the value of x

Answer 1

the answer will be ....

38

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=38\textdegree$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that complementary angles always add up to 90°.

We know that the two complementary angles are represented by (x) and (x+14). In other words:

$(x)+(x+14)=90$

So, let's solve for x.

First, combine like terms:

$2x+14=90$

Let's isolate the x by subtracting 14 from both sides:

$(2x+14)-14=(90)-14$

The left cancels. Subtract on the right:

$2x=76$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{76}{2}$

The left side cancels. Divide on the right:

$x=38\textdegree$

So, the value of x is 38°.

And we're done!
