Question 594506: The measure of two complementary angles are represented (3x+15) and (2x-10). What is the value of x? Answer by Yemi(10) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 3x+15 and 2x-10 are complementary then their sum is equal to 90. 3x+15+2x-10=90.then you have 5x+5=90.take the 5 to the right hand side then you have 5x=90-5=85.that is 5x=85.divide both side by 5, x=17.therefore x=17
