I need help. Does anyone understand this? It's geometry homework. Also if anyone else needs help on homework they can post here.

What exactly do you not understand? There are many things that can be not understood out there

Edit: I also turned your image so it is easier to see. Turning the head sideway don't make understanding easy

I don`t understand what congruent and supplementary mean and I don`t understand what it mean when it says name the pair of angles. am I supposed to solve for x or what?

That's vocabulary problem, best thing would be to ask the person who assigned you the homework. Otherwise, a little search on Wikipedia can yield some results

Supplementary and complementary angles.
Congruent angles.

I must say I don't understand either, I am not familiar with that kind of notation :confused:

I learned maths in Europe, and I suspect USA uses different notations. Again, the best thing is to ask your assigner. In this particular case, you are not asking for the solution, you are asking for clarifications. After all, understanding the question is vital to find the correct answer

You can also look up "how to" videos on youtube. There are channels on youtube that show you how to solve various kinds of math problems and they were immensely helpful for me during college (I am a visual learner, I need to SEE it being solved otherwise it's not going to work).
