Answer:
x = 12
Explanation:
Remark
These two angles are corresponding angles and as such, they are equal.
Equation
8x+ 36 = 5x + 72
Solution
Subtract 5x from both sides
8x - 5x + 36 = 5x - 5x + 72 Combine like terms.
3x + 36 = 72 Subtract 36 from both sides
3x + 36 - 36 = 72 - 36 Collect like terms
3x = 36 Divide by 3
3x/3 = 36/3 Divide
x = 12 Answer
