there is a small angle that measures 36 degrees and there is a larger angle that measures 4x - 8 what equation should you use to find the real measure of the larger angle?

To find the real measure of the larger angle, we can set up an equation using the given information.

The small angle measures 36 degrees, so we can represent it as a constant, 36.

The larger angle measures 4x - 8. We don't know the value of x yet.

The equation to find the real measure of the larger angle is:

4x - 8 = 36
nope. try to solve this 4x - 8 + 36° = 180 what is the value of x?
To find the value of x, we can solve the equation:

4x - 8 + 36° = 180

First, combine like terms:

4x + 28° = 180

Next, subtract 28° from both sides:

4x = 152

Finally, divide both sides by 4:

x = 38

Therefore, the value of x is 38.
