A figure displays two nonadjacent angles with measures (x + 2) degree and (2x - 4) degree. If the two angles are complementary, what is the written equation?
(x + 2) degree + (__) degree = ___ degree
Since the two angles are complementary, the sum of their measures should be equal to 90 degrees.
Thus, the equation would be:
(x + 2) + (2x - 4) = 90
Simplifying the equation, we have:
3x - 2 = 90
