Sophomore geometry help (not cheating)?

Question

I'm not looking for the answer, I just want someone who can explain how to solve these problems. We are studying angles.

Find the value of x

m<AOC = 7x - 2 , m<DOC = 2x + 8, m<EOD = 27

I'm really confused, so if anyone could explain how to do these problems, you'd be my saviour (or my teacher, better yet. She doesn't teach us f***ing c**p)

By the way, these "<" are angle signs, hehe.

Answer 1

7x-2=180

2x+8=180

Answer 2

You need a picture of the angles&#039; relationship to each other to solve this problem. Sorry I can&#039;t help. Try looking online.

Answer 3

2x+6+7x-2= 180   solve for x

my bad

Answer 4

first you have to see which angles are congruent to each other. if &lt;AOC is congruent (equal to) m&lt;DOC, then you have to set 7x-2 equal to 2x+8 and then solve for &#039;x&#039;. if  m&lt;EOD is congruent to m&lt;DOC then u have to set 27 equal to 2x+8 and solve for &#039;x&#039;. so on and so forth. im going to assume this is probably a square with a line going diagonally. telling the shape might be helpful to. =] good luck
