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

1 answer

To find the value of x, we can set up the equation:

m∠5 + m∠8 = 180

Substitute the given values:

112 + (2x + 8) = 180

Simplify and solve for x:

112 + 2x + 8 = 180
2x + 120 = 180
2x = 60
x = 30

Therefore, the equation to solve for x is 2x + 120 = 180, which simplifies to 2x = 60 and x = 30.
