Question

Help on math angle question. ik its easy but I have no idea how math works :D

Answer 1

Answer:

71º is measure of angle A

19º is measure of angle B

Step-by-step explanation:

complementary angles are angles that equal to 90º 

so let's add the terms (from angles A & B) and set them equal to 90º

3x+2 + x-4 = 90

4x -2 = 90

add 2 to both sides to get rid of the 2 on the left side and isolate our similar terms

4x = 92

divide both sides by 4

x=23

We're not done though, we must plug in our x value to Angle A terms and Angle B terms.

(3(23) + 2)º = measure of Angle A            (solve for both of them)

(23-4)º =  = measure of Angle B

3(23) + 2 =

3(23) = 69 (add the 2)

71º is measure of angle A

23-4 = 19º

19º is measure of angle B

double-check

71+19 = 90º

It works
