Answer:

x = 10

I used the Interior Angles of a Triangle Rule --The sum of all 3 interior angles in a triangle is always 180°.

(3x + 28) + (5x - 18) + 90° = 180°

Now i can get rid of the parentheses and combine like terms.

3x + 5x + 28 - 18 + 90 = 180

8x + 10 + 90 = 180

8x + 100 = 180

Then i subtract 100 from both sides to isolate x.

8x + 100 - 100 = 180 - 100

8x = 80

Then, i divide both sides by 8 to find x.

8x ÷ 8 = 80 ÷ 8

x = 10
