Question

Angle H and angle J are complementary. Angle H measures x + 5 and angle J measures 2x – 5. Find the measure of angle H.

Answer 1

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Add Angle H and Angle J to equal 90.
3x = 90.
Solve for x, and then substitute that value into the equation for angle H.

Answer 2

90/3 = 30
2(30) -5=
60-5= 55
