Answer:

  • 156°

Step 1: Create an Equation Using the idea (Angle B + Angle C = 180°)

=> 14x + x = 180°

Step 2: Solve.

=> 14x + x = 180°

=> 15x = 180°

=> x = 12°

Step 3: Multiply 12 by 14.

=> 12 x 14 = 168°

Step 4: Subtract 168 by 12.

=> 168 - 12

=> 156°

Final Answer:

After working on this problem, we can conclude that the difference between Angle B and Angle C is 156°
