Angle B = 90 - (Angle A)

Angle B = 90 - (5x+2)

Angle B = 90 - 5x - 2

Angle B = 88 - 5x

The problem statement is incomlete. They give us two unknowns a and b which add to 90, but there is no second equation to relate a and b . The second equation
(1) a = 2*x + 2 introduces a third variable, thus we need a third equation to eliminate x.
As given we can find limits for x, a, and b as follows
