Question

Solve for the value of x.
(8x+2)
34°

Answer 1

x = 18

Explanation:

The angle of a straight line is 180°, if we already know that one of the two angles is 34°, then the other angle must be equal to (180 - 34) = 146°

To solve for x

8x + 2 = 146; subtract 2 from both sides

8x = 144; divide by 8

x = 18
