m∠5=112° and m∠8=(2x+8)° . What equation will solve for x ?

(2 points)
x°+
°=52
°

3 answers

m∠5 + m∠8 = 180° (angle sum of a straight line)
112° + (2x+8)° = 180°
2x + 120° = 180°
2x = 60°
x = 30°
is this right ??
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. Here's the correct solution:

m∠5 + m∠8 = 180° (angle sum of a straight line)
112° + (2x+8)° = 180°
2x + 120° = 180°
2x = 60°
x = 30°

Thus, the correct equation to solve for x is 2x + 120° = 180°.
