Solve for x in the diagram below.
8x
50°
X =

Step-by-step explanation:

Two Angles are Complementary when they add up to 90 degrees (a Right Angle).

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 angles are inside of a right angle (the little square in the corner denotes a right angle). This means they are complementary angles, and add to 90 degrees.

8x+50=90

We want to find out what n is. In order to do this, we have to get n by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.

50 is being added to 8x. The opposite of addition is subtraction. Subtract 50 from both sides.

8x+50-50=90-50

8x=90-50

8x=40

x is being multiplied by 8. The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 8.

8x/8=40/8

x=5

x is equal to 5.

answer: 12x^2+6x

step-by-step explanation:

6x does not equal 24x. hope it works!
