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