Question

PLS HELP :( i’ve been trying to understand this but i cant. please explain this if you know how to do it pleaseee

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf x = 17}`

Explanation:

Since m is a straight line, its measure is 180 degrees.

So,

2x + 5 + 8x + 5 = 180

2x + 8x + 5 + 5 = 180

10x + 10 = 180

10x = 180 - 10

10x = 170

Divide both sides by 10

x = 17

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
