Answer 1

Picture

Answer 2

Need the image

Answer 3

Do you know the definition of a complementary angle?

Answer 4

or rather, if two angles are complementary, what does that mean?

Answer 5

when two angles equal to 90

Answer 6

So if A and B are complementary, what does that mean?

Answer 7

that they both equal to 90

Answer 8

So in order to solve for x, what could you do?

Answer 9

subtract 22 from 90

Answer 10

Complementary angles: the sum of two angles which is 90

Sum means the result of an addition operation. This means that:

\[A + B = 90\]

Answer 11

What can you do then?

Answer 12

subtract?

Answer 13

Subtract what?

Answer 14

90 from 22

Answer 15

Well, we have the values for angle A and B, so we can input them into the equation I made.

\[A + B = 90\]
\[(x + 22) + x = 90\]
\[x + 22 + x = 90\]
\[2x + 22 = 90\]

Answer 16

Does that make sense to you?
