OpenStudy (danjs):

those two are complimentary and add to 90 degrees

OpenStudy (danjs):

4x and the 3x-8 sum to 90

OpenStudy (displayerror):

\[\angle CDJ = 3x-8\] and \[\angle ADC = 4x\] complete one quadrant. They are complementary, meaning that they sum to 90 degrees. That is \[\angle CDJ + \angle ADC = 90 \] We can then solve for x: \[3x - 8 + 4x = 90\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 90

OpenStudy (displayerror):

No, the two angles add up to 90. You have to solve for x, then plug it into the equation for angle CDJ which is given by \[\angle CDJ = 3x-8\]
