To solve this problem, we need to first understand what complementary angles are. Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.
Given that angle 1 measures 6 degrees and angle 2 measures 14x degrees, we can set up an equation to represent the relationship between these two angles.
The equation for the sum of the measures of complementary angles is:
angle 1 + angle 2 = 90 degrees
Replacing angle 1 with its measure (6 degrees) and angle 2 with its measure (14x degrees), we get:
6 + 14x = 90
Now we can solve for x. Let's rearrange the equation to isolate the variable x.
First, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:
14x = 90 - 6
14x = 84
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 14 to solve for x:
x = 84 / 14
x = 6
Therefore, the value of x is 6.

To find the value of x, we need to use the fact that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
The measure of angle 1 is given as 6 degrees, and the measure of angle 2 is 14x degrees.
Since angles 1 and 2 are complementary, we can write the equation:
angle 1 + angle 2 = 90
6 + 14x = 90
Now, let's solve the equation for x.
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:
14x = 90 - 6
14x = 84
Divide both sides of the equation by 14:
x = 84 / 14
Simplifying, we get:
x = 6
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
