Please help!

x and y are 2 complementary angles such that Y is 8 degrees larger then X.

Find the value of X

Answer 1

Answer: x = 41

Explanation:

Since x and y are complementary angles, that means x + y = 90 degrees.

We are given that y = x + 8

We can substitue y as x + 8 in the complementary angle equation.

Therefore, we get x + x + 8 = 90

2x = 82

x = 41
