17 Geometry question: Use an algebraic equation to find the measurement of each angle that is represented in terms of X

Answer 1

Answer:

2x + 30° = 40°

4x + 30° = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 30° and 4x + 30° are complementary angles.

Complementary angles sum up to give 90°.

Therefore,

2x + 30° + 4x + 30° = 90°

Add like terms

6x + 60 = 90

6x = 90 - 60

6x = 30

6x/6 = 30/6

x = 5

✔️2x + 30°

Plug in the value of x

2(5) + 30

10 + 30

= 40°

✔️4x + 30°

4(5) + 30°

20 + 30

= 50°
