Question

Write each of the following as an algebraic expression-The complement of a angle measuring 2x+3 degrees

Answer 1

Two angles are complementary if they add up to 90 degrees.

Let the complement of the angle measuring 2x+3 degrees = y

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} y+(2x+3)^0=90^0 \\ y=90^0-(2x+3)^0 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the complement of an angle measuring (2x+3) degrees is:

$90^0-(2x+3)^0$
