Answer:

x = 18

Explanation:

The 2 angles lie on a straight line and sum to 180° , then

x - 6 + 8x + 24 = 180

9x + 18 = 180 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

9x = 162 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 18

\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {TO\:FIND :}}}

The value of
x.


\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {SOLUTION:}}}


\implies {\blue {\boxed {\boxed {\purple {\sf { x\:=\:18}}}}}}


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}

We know that,


\sf\pink{Sum\:of\:angles\:on\:a\:straight\:line\:=\:180°}


x - 6 + 8
x + 24 = 180°

➪ 9
x + 18 = 180°

➪ 9
x = 180° - 18

➪ 9
x = 162


x =
(162)/(9)


x = 18

Therefore, the value of
x is 18.

Now, the two angles are:-

  1. (
    x - 6 ) = ( 18 - 6 ) = 12°
  2. ( 8
    x + 24 ) = ( 8 x 18 + 24 ) = 144 + 24 = 168°


\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {TO\:VERIFY :}}}

✒ 12° + 168° = 180°

✒ 180° = 180°

✒ L. H. S. = R. H. S.


\sf\blue{Hence\:verified.}
