Question

3 times the measure of an angle is 14 less than the measure of its complement. What is the measure of the angle?


19°

57°

71°

76°

Answer 1

first let the angle be x
so how would you write the complement of x?

Answer 2

complement means it equals 90 right?

Answer 3

complement of x = 90 - x

Answer 4

so would i subtract 14 from 90 then divide by three?

Answer 5

yes then u will get your answer

Answer 6

but in doing that i get 25.3 repeating and that isnt an answer choice?

Answer 7

3x = (90 - x) - 14
3x = 76 - x
4x = 76
x = 19

Answer 8

ohhhhhh thank you so much lo

Answer 9

Answer 10

x = (90 - x) - 14
3x = 76 - x
4x = 76
x = 19
