Hey class and Mr. Kerai, I was having trouble solving #18 on the homework so I was just wondering if you could show us/me (because I'm probably the only one with difficulty on this one) during class. But instead of solving it through theorems, I hope that it's alright if I tried to solve it algebraically. -Broseph
I don't know if this helps, but I tried to proove the problem through adjacent angles and complementary angles.
