Answer:
x = 23°
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: Complementary angles measure 90°
3x + (x - 2)° = 90°
=> 3x + x - 2° = 90°
=> 4x - 2° = 90°
Add the additive inverse of -2 to both sides of the equation
i.e 4x - 2° + 2° = 90° + 2°
=> 4x = 92°
Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x which is 4
=> 4x/4 = 92°/4
x = 23°
