A figure displays two nonadjacent angles with measures (x+2) and (2x-4). If the two angles are complementary, what is the written equation?
(x+2) + ( ) =
90
explain
In order to find the equation, we need to set up an equation where the sum of the two angles is equal to 90 degrees, which is the definition of complementary angles.
So the equation is:
(x+2) + (2x-4) = 90
Simplifying this equation will give us the solution for x.
