Question

Find the value of x.

Answer 1

I WILL USE THE REASONS VERTICAL OPPOSITE ANGLES AND CO-INTERIOR ANGLES

`8x + 6 + 118 = 180 \\ 8x + 124 = 180 \\ 8x = 180 - 124 \\ 8x = 56 \\ (8x)/(8) = (56)/(8) \\ x = 7`

NOTE THAT DUE TO LACK OF LABELLING OF ANGLES IN THE DIAGRAM I COULDN'T GIVE YOU BRIEF EXPLANATION BUT I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.
