Answer:

323/7 or about 46.143

Explanation:

We can infer that the measure of B + C is 90 degrees, so 6x + 1 + 8x - 11 must be equal to 90.

6x + 1 + 8x - 11 = 90
14x - 10 = 90

14x = 100

x = 100/14

x = 50/7

Solve for the measure of C by substituting x with 50/7.

50/7 * 8 = 400/7

400/7 - 11 = 323/7

the measure of C is 323/7
