The measures of two angles are (3x−5)∘(3x-5)^{\circ} and (x+35)∘(x+35)^{\circ}. (a) Find the value of xx for which the two angles are complementary. (b) Using the value of xx obtained in part (a), determine the measure of each angle and classify every angle as acute, right or obtuse. (c) If x=60x=60, decide whether the same two angle expressions form a complementary pair, a supplementary pair, or neither. Justify your answer.
