∠A and \angle B∠B are complementary angles. If m\angle A=(2x-4) ∘ and m\angle B=(5x+17) ∘ , then find the measure of \angle A∠A.

18°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are the angles that when we add them together, the value will equal 90°.

In this question, we've to add both angles and equate them to 90°. This will be:

(2x - 4) + (5x + 17) = 90

2x - 4 + 5x + 17 = 90

Collect like terms

2x + 5x = 90 + 4 - 17

7x = 77

x = 77/7

x = 11

Angle A will be:

= (2x-4)

= 2(11) - 4

= 22 - 4

= 18°

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x
