Two angles are complementary. the first angle is 2x degrees. the second angle is x +30° determine the larger angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

So,

, because both angles must sum 90°, by defintion of complementary angles.

Then, we solve for

Now, we substitue this value in each angle expression

First angle:

Second angle:

Therefore, the larger angle is the second one, which is equal to 50°.

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7
