Answer Key - Grade 8 Math Worksheet

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. Noah's door opens against a straight wall. The angles on its two sides are (2x + 25)° and (3x − 5)°. Write an equation for x.

    2x + 25 + 3x − 5 = 180
  2. Pia sketches the wheelchair ramp at school. The ramp meets the flat ground, making angles of (6x)° and (2x + 20)° on its two sides. Write an equation for x.

    6x + 2x + 20 = 180
  3. Ren's seam splits the square corner of a quilt patch into (2x + 5)° and (x + 10)°. Write an equation for x.

    2x + 5 + x + 10 = 90
  4. The blades of Tala's scissors cross, and two angles across from each other are (6x − 8)° and (4x + 22)°. Write an equation for x.

    6x − 8 = 4x + 22
  5. Two roads meet in a straight line in Zee's paper sketch, with angles of (5x + 10)° and (3x + 10)° side by side. How many degrees is the (5x + 10)° angle?

    110
  6. A straight line splits a square corner of Ari's window into (3x + 7)° and (x + 3)°. How many degrees is the (3x + 7)° angle?

    67
  7. A seam splits the square corner of Esme's quilt patch into (2x + 8)° and (x + 7)°. How many degrees is the (2x + 8)° angle?

    58
  8. Jun's scissor blades cross. Two angles across from each other are (5x − 12)° and (3x + 20)°. What is x?

    16
  9. Luz draws two crossing lines on a clock face sketch. Two angles across from each other are (6x − 10)° and (4x + 16)°. What is x?
