Two angles are complementary. One angle has a measure of 40° and the other has a measure of (8x+2)° . What is the value of x ?(1 point) Responses 60 60 11 11 6 6 50
If two angles are complementary, their sum must be 90 degrees.
So, we can set up an equation:
40 + (8x + 2) = 90
Simplifying this equation, we get:
8x + 42 = 90
Subtracting 42 from both sides:
8x = 48
Dividing both sides by 8:
x = 6
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
