Based on the figure below, what is the value of x
1
9
11
15

The 2 angles combined form a right angle which equals 90 degrees.
Add the 2 angles to solve for x.
5x+15 +20 = 90
5x + 35 = 90
5x = 55
x = 55 / 5
x = 11
Hello!
These two angles are complementary. Therefore, they add up to 90°. This gives us the equation below.
5x+15+20=90
5x+35=90
Let's subtract 35 from both sides.
5x=55
We divide both sides by 5.
x=11
Therefore, our answer is C) 11.
I hope this helps!
