Question

Two angles are complementary. the measure of ∠abc is x° and the measure of ∠dbc is (3x + 10)°. what is the value of x? enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

This problem can be expressed through the equation:
x+3x+10= 90

To solve it we subtract 10 on both sides
→x+3x=80
Add x and 3x
→4x=80
And divide each side by 4
→x=80/4
→x=20

ANSWER:
20
