Answer:

m<ACD = 124 degrees

Explanation:

(2x+8) + (x-2) = 180 degrees

This is because both angles are on the same line (so they are a linear pair) and a straight line is 180 degrees. This means that they are supplementary

So:

(2x+8) + (x-2) = 180

Combine like terms:

2x + x + 8 - 2 = 180

3x + 6 = 180

-6 -6

3x = 174

Divide both sides by 3

x = 58

Now that you know x, you can put it into the equation for m<ACD:

2x+8

(2 multiplied by 58) + 8

(116) + 8

124

m<ACD = 124 degrees

Feel free to ask any follow-up questions if u don't understand
