Problema Solution
a friend claims that two acute angles are complementary and their measures are 2x degrees and (30 - 5x) degrees. If your friend is right, what equation must be true?
Answer provided by our tutors
Two angles are complementary if they add up to 90 degrees.
The angels of 2x degrees and (30 - 5x) degrees are complementary thus the following equation must be true:
2x + (30 - 5x) = 90.
