Answer:

56

Explanation:

We know that every triangle no matter will equal 180 degrees. So we will make an algebreic expression.

2x+8+60=180

When doing algebreic expression we want to simply as much as possible to find our answer. First we will do 60-180. Since the expression is adding 60 we want to do the opposite and subtract is by 60 on both sides. SO now we have 2x+8=120. We do the same thing with 8. Subtract it on both sides since its adding in the expression. Now we have 2x=112. FInally, we will divide by two on both sides since its multiplying on the other side of the equation. So now we are left with x=56.
