Hi The complement of an angle is 24 degrees greater than twice the angle 'x' Problem States: (2x + 24°) + x = 90° |Complimentary Angles 3x = 66° x = 22° The complement 90°-22° = 68° Wish You the Best in your Studies.

Welcome BACK, tutor @ewatrrr. I haven't seen you in a while. I guess you may'ne been vacationing! Let complement be C Then angle = 90 - C We then get: C = 2(90 - C) + 24 C = 180 - 2C + 24 C + 2C = 180 + 24 3C = 204 Measure of complement, or **BTW....The other person's equation will NOT get you the complement's measure, so BEWARE!
