Question 628308: Hi!!
I am trying to teach my boys over the summer and I have many worksheets with answers. However, these specific ones on Special Angles & Algebra don't have a formula or answer key, so I will give you an example and see if you might be able to help. Thank you so much!!
Find the value of x. Write and solve an equation!
1. x = __________
the angle created on top is 2x - 3
the angle created on bottom is 85
2. If angle C and angle D are complementary, find x, m angle C and m angle D.
m angle C = 10x + 11 and m angle D = 2x - 5
x = _______
m angle C = __________
m angle D = __________
There are also problems on finding the measure of each missing angle - are there any sample problems on your website on how to do this? Thank you!!!

the angle created on bottom is 85
---------------
Top and bottom of what?
================================
2. If angle C and angle D are complementary, find x, m angle C and m angle D.
m angle C = 10x + 11 and m angle D = 2x - 5
C + D = 90
10x+11 + 2x-5 = 90
12x + 6 = 90
x = 7
