SOLUTION: If two complementary angles have degree measures m<x=8x-12 and m<y=2x+2, what is the value of m<x?

Question 496903: If two complementary angles have degree measures m
Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8x -12 + 2x + 2 = 90
10x - 10 = 90
10x = 100
x = 10
Angle x = 8(10) -12 = 68 degrees
Angle y = 2(10) + 2 = 22 degrees
68 + 22 = 90 degrees.
This does check.
