Answer:

  • x = 6°
  • ∠B = 126°

Explanation:

The identical arc symbols on the two angles indicates the angles are congruent. Also, these are alternate interior angles where a transversal crosses lines marked as parallel, so they are congruent:

∠A = ∠B

8x +78° = 2x +114° . . . . . substitute the given expressions

6x = 36° . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x+78° from both sides

x = 6° . . . . . . divide by 6

∠B = 2x +114° = 2·6° +114° . . . . . put the value of x into the expression

∠B = 126°
