Answer:

<3=75°

Explanation:

Angle 3 and angle 2x+95 are supplementary( supplementary angles add up to 180°)

So <3+2x+95=180

<3+2x=180-95

<3+2x=85( let's call this equation 1)

Next, angle 5 and angle 8x+71 are opposite angles (opposite angles are equal) therefore <5=8x+71

Now, <3 and <5 are co-interior angles(co-interior angles are supplementary)

So <3+8x+71=180

<3+8x=180-71=109

Thus, <3+8x=109(let's call this equation 2)

Now solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously:

Make <3 the subject of equation 1

<3=85-2x

Put <3=85-2x into equation 2

85-2x+8x=109

6x=24

x=24/6=4

Now, remember that angle 2x+95 becomes

2(4)+95

8+95=103°

Therefore<3=180-105=75°
