Problem

An angle measures x∘x^{\circ}. Its complement is stated to be (4x−10)∘(4x - 10)^{\circ}. (a) Form an equation in xx using the above information and solve it. (b) Find the measures of the angle and its complement. (c) Determine the range of real values of xx for which (4x−10)∘(4x - 10)^{\circ} actually represents a valid complement of x∘x^{\circ}. Show your reasoning clearly.
