a right angle is 90 degrees. take both equations and put them together and add like terms.

10x + 10 = 90. subtract 10 from both sides.

10x = 80. divide by 10 on both sides.

x = 8

Answer:

8

Explanation:

That little square means the angle between the L shape is 90 degrees.

This means that the two angles must add up to 90 degrees:

(6x+2)+(4x+8)=90

10x+10=90

10x=80

x=8
