FIND THE MEASURE OF 2 COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES:
angle A and angle B if measuremnt of angle A= 7x+4 and measurement of angle B= 4x+9

Step 1. Complementary angles are those two angles adding up to 180 degrees.

Step 2. Given that

add A+B to get 90 degrees

Step 3. Subtract 13 from both sides to isolate x term on one side.

Step 4. Divide 11 to both sides of equation to get x

Step 5. The following complementary angles are calculated as

degrees

degrees

Note: degrees which helps verify our answer.

Step 6. ANSWER: The complementary angles are 53 and 37.

I hope the above steps were helpful.

And good luck in your studies!

Respectfully,
