<LMN and <UVW are complementary. Find the measure of each angle if m<LMN = (3x+5)° and m<UVW = 2x°

+5

Complimentary angles add to 90 degrees.

so   (3x+5) + 2x = 90    solve for 'x'

        3x + 5 + 2x = 90  

         5x + 5 = 90

          5x + 5    - 5   = 90   - 5

          5x = 85

           x = 17            LMN = (3x+5) = 3(17)+5 = 56    UVW = 2x = 2(17)= 34         34 + 56 = 90       Yea!
