Answer:

18°

Explanation:

We know that, sum of the angles in a straight line are added up to 180°.

Accordingly,


x - 6 + 8x + 24 = 180

Combine like terms.


9x + 18 =180

Subtract 18 from both sides.


9x = 180 - 18 \\ 9x = 162

Divide both sides by 9.


x = 18 \degree

Answer:

x = 18

Explanation:

The given angles are,

→ x - 6

→ 8x + 24

We generally know that,

→ Sum of angles in straight line is 180°.

Forming the equation,

→ (8x + 24) + (x - 6) = 180

Now required value of x will be,

→ (8x + 24) + (x - 6) = 180

→ 8x + 24 + x - 6 = 180

→ (8x + x) + (24 - 6) = 180

→ 9x + 18 = 180

→ 9x = 180 - 18

→ 9x = 162

→ x = 162 ÷ 9

→ [ x = 18 ]

Therefore, the value of x is 18.
