You can put this solution on YOUR website! sum of complimentary angles = 90 deg
3x+2+2x+3=90
5x+5=90
5x=90-5
5x=85
/5
x=17deg
90-17=73 deg
You can put this solution on YOUR website! complimentary angles = 90 degrees therefore
<1=3x+2 + <2=2x+3 = 90
5x+5=90
we want to get x alone so subtract +5 from both sides
5x=90-5
5x=85
divide 5 by both sides to get x
5x = 85

5 5
x=17
90-17=73 degrees
