Answer:

m∠A=42

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are complementary they must add up to 90°.

(2x+30)+(6x+12)=90

We can just remove parenthesis since you can't really do anything with them.

2x+30+6x+12=90

Combine like terms.

8x+42=90

Do inverse to find the value of x.

8x=48

x=6

Now since we are looking for the m∠A and not x we need to replace the x with the value of x in the ∠A equation.

(2(6)+30)

(12+30)

m∠A=42
