Question

Please help with geometry

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation

Complimentary angles have a sum of 90*. Thus when adding the two equations together, we must get 90*.

7x + 17 + 3x - 7 = 90                Combine like terms

10x + 10 = 90                           Subtract 10 on both sides

10x = 80                                   Divide both sides by 10

x = 8
