tqo adjacent angles are inside a 90° angle. one angle has a measure of (x + 4) and the other angle has a measure of (3x + 2)°. what is x?
To solve this problem, we know that the sum of the two adjacent angles must be 90° since they are both inside a 90° angle.
So the equation becomes:
(x + 4) + (3x + 2) = 90
Combining like terms:
4x + 6 = 90
Subtracting 6 from both sides:
4x = 84
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = 21
Therefore, x is equal to 21.
