Complementary means they add to 90 degrees, so 5x+4 + 7x+2 = 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i just solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12x+6=90 -6 -6 12x=78 /12 /12 x=6.5

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

90-6 isn't 78, though....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o sorry its 84

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=7

OpenStudy (anonymous):
