Three streets form an intersection. ∠C and ∠D are complementary angles. If the measure of ∠C is x° and the measure of ∠D is 8° greater than ∠C. What is the value of​ x?

*The answer is not 82.
A short explanation for your answer would be much appreciated, Thank you!

of course the answer is not 82

∠D is 8° greater than ∠C, so
x + x+8 = 90
