Answer:
x = 3
Explanation:
An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles:
2x^2 +3x +6 = (8x) +(3x^2 -6x)
x^2 -x -6 = 0 . . . . . . subtract the left-side expression, put in standard form
(x -3)(x +2) = 0 . . . . .factor
The value of x is a value that makes a factor zero. These factors are zero when x=3 or x=-2. Only positive values of x will give positive angles in this geometry. The only useful solution is ...
x = 3
