find the value of x

x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The two angles are complementary so we can write
[tex](2x + 1) + (x + 14) = 90[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 3x + 15 =90[/tex]
or
[tex]3x = 75 \Rightarrow x = \frac{75}{3} = 25[/tex]
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that (2x+1) + (x+14) is a right angle. So, the total of those two angles should be 90.
(2x+1) + (x+14) = 90
2x + 1 + x + 14 = 90
3x + 15 = 90
3x + 15 - 15 = 90 - 15
3x = 75
3x/3 = 75/3
x = 25
