Answer:

The answer to your question is 42°

Explanation:

Data

m∠BOC = 6x - 6

m∠AOB = 5x + 8

m∠BOC = ?

Process

We know that the segments OA ⊥ OC so they are complementary angles.

1.- The sum of complementary angles equals 90°

m∠BOC + m∠AOB = 90°

2.- Substitution

6x - 6 + 5x + 8 = 90°

3.- Solve for x

6x + 5x = 90 + 6 - 8

4.- Simplify

11x = 88

5.- Result

x = 88/11

x = 8

6.- Calculate m∠BOC

m∠BOC = 6(8) - 6

= 48 - 6

= 42°
