Two angles are complementary. The first angle is 2x degrees. The second angle is (x+30) degrees. Determine the larger angle

larger angle = 50°

complementary angles sum to 90°, hence

2x + x + 30 = 90

3x + 30 = 90 (subtract 30 from both sides)

3x = 60 (divide both sides by 3)

x = 20

thus 2x = 2 * 20 = 40° and x + 30 = 20 + 30 = 50°

the larger angle is x + 30 = 50°
