Answer:

Explanation:

<A and <B are alternate interior angles. That means they are in the interior of the parallel lines and they are on opposite sides of the transversal.

When that happens <A = <B

8x + 78 = 2x + 114 Subtract 2x from both sides.

8x - 2x + 78 = 2x - 2x + 114 Combine

6x + 78 = 114 Subtract 78 from both sides

6x + 78 - 78 = 114 - 78

6x = 36 Divide by 6

6x/6 = 36/6

x = 6

I think you are asked for B

<B = 2x + 114

<B = 2*6 + 114

<B = 12 + 114

<B = 126
