Same side exterior angles are linear pair and have sum 180°


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x-11+2x+8=180


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3x-3=180


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3x=183


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=61

Solution:

We know that:


  • x - 11 \space\ and \space\ 2x + 8 \space\ are \space\ a \space\ linear \space\ pair. \space\ (Refer \space\ to \space\ attachment.)

This means that:


  • (x - 11) + (2x + 8) = 180

Step-by step calculations:

Open the parenthesis:


  • (x - 11) + (2x + 8) = 180
  • =>
    x - 11 + 2x + 8 = 180

Combine like terms:

  • =>
    x - 11 + 2x + 8 = 180
  • =>
    (x + 2x) + (-11 + 8) = 180

Simplify the LHS:

  • =>
    3x - 3 = 180

Add 3 both sides:

  • =>
    3x - 3 = 180
  • =>
    3x - 3 + 3 = 180 + 3
  • =>
    3x = 183

Divide 3 both sides:

  • =>
    (3x)/(3) = (183)/(3)
  • =>
    x = 61
