Answer:

m<GFC = 149°

Explanation:

m<GFC = m<C + m<CDF (exterior angle theorem)

Substitute

12x - 7 = 26 + 8x + 19

Subtract 8x from each side

12x - 7 - 8x = 26 + 8x + 19 - 8x

4x - 7 = 26 + 19

4x - 7 = 45

Add 7 to both sides

4x - 7 + 7 = 45 + 7

4x = 52

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 52/4

x = 13

✔️m<GFC = 12x - 7

Plug in the value of x

m<GFC = 12(13) - 7 = 149°
