Answer:

x=12

Explanation:

Both Angles together have a 180 degrees, set your formula up as

180=(10x-20)+(6x+8)

180=10x+6x-20+8

180+20-8=16x

192=16x

192/16=x

12=x

Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

The two angles form a straight line so they add to 180

10x-20 + 6x+8 = 180

Combine like terms

16x -12 = 180

Add 12 to each side

16x-12+12=180+12

16x = 192

Divide each side by 16

16x/16 =192/16

x = 12
