Answer:

see below

Explanation:

If the two angles form a straight angle, their sum is 180

2x+50 + 6x+2 = 180

Combine like terms

8x +52 = 180

Subtract 52 from each side

8x+52-52 = 180-52

8x =128

divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 128/8

x =16

2x+50 = 2(16)+50 = 32+50 = 82

6x+2 = 6(16)+2 =96+2 = 98
