A figure shows two non adjacent angles with measures (2x+3) and 2x . If the angles are complementary what is the equation for the angle measures ?
Since the angles are complementary, the sum of their measures should be 90 degrees.
(2x+3) + 2x = 90
Combining like terms:
4x + 3 = 90
Subtracting 3 from both sides:
4x = 87
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = 21.75
So, the equation for the angle measures is:
(2(21.75) + 3) and 2(21.75)
