$\huge\frak{Answer:-}$

$(8x - 8) + {100}^(\degree) = {180}^(\degree)$

$\implies8x - 8 = 180 - 100$

$\implies8x - 8 = 80$

$\implies8x = 80 + 8$

$\implies8x = 88$

$\implies x = (88)/(8)$

$\implies x = 11 \: (a)$

Why did we used the equation "(8x - 8) + 100° = 180°" to find x?

Because, sum of interior angle in the same side of two parallel lines are always equal to 180°.

Don't forget to give the "°" symbol ;)
