SOLUTION: < A and < B are complementary. Find m< A and m< B. m< A=5x+8 m< B=x+4 m< A=3x-7 m< B=11x-1 m< A=3/4x-13 m< B=3x-17

Question 158209: < A and < B are complementary. Find m< A and m< B.
m< A=5x+8
m< B=x+4

m< A=3x-7
m< B=11x-1
m< A=3/4x-13
m< B=3x-17

I'll do the first one to get you started.

# 1

Since angles A and B are complementary, this means that

Start with the given equation.

Plug in A=5x+8 and B=x+4

Combine like terms on the left side.

Subtract from both sides.

Combine like terms on the right side.

Divide both sides by to isolate .

Reduce.

Go back to the first angle

Plug in

Multiply

Add

So the first angle is 73 degrees

--------------------------------

Go back to the second angle

Plug in

Add

So the second angle is 17 degrees
