Answer:
Angle A = 18°
Step-by-step explanation:
since the angles are complementary, they add up to 90°
(2x-4) + (5x+17) = 90
add like terms
7x-4+17=90
simplify left side
7x+13=90
subtract 13 from both sides
7x=77
divide both sides by 7
x=11
plug in x to find the measure of angle A
2(11) - 4
multiply 2*11 first
22-4
simplify
18
