Answer:
x = 15
Explanation:
The angles shown are supplementary angles. Supplementary angles add up to equal 180°
This means that 2x + 8 + 8x + 22 must equal 180
Note that we've just created an equation that we can use to solve for x
We now solve for x using that equation
2x + 8 + 8x + 22 = 180
combine like terms : 2x + 8x = 10x and 8 + 22 = 30
10x + 30 = 180
subtract 30 from both sides : 30 - 30 cancels out and 180 - 30 = 150
10x = 150
divide both sides by 10: 10x / 10 = x and 150 / 10 = 15
we're left with x = 15
