Answer:


x=61

Explanation:

We can find the angle directly above the
2x+8.

We know that because they both lie on a straight line, the other angle is
180-(2x+8)=172-2x.

Aha! We have a path to the solution!


172-2x=x-11 because of the parallel line angle theorem(I forget what it's called).

We then add
2x and
11 to both sides to get
183=3x.

Lastly, we divide by
3 to get
61=x.

So,
\boxed{x=61} and we're done!
