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 50 50 60 60 11 11 6
To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation:
40° + (8x + 2)° = 90°
Combine like terms:
8x + 42° = 90°
Subtract 42° from both sides:
8x = 48°
Divide both sides by 8:
x = 6
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
