To find the measure of the second angle, you can set up an equation using the fact that the sum of the angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.

The measure of the second angle is given by (8x)°.

So, we have the equation: (5x - 28) + (8x) = 180.

Combining like terms, we get: 13x - 28 = 180.

Adding 28 to both sides, we get: 13x = 208.

Dividing both sides by 13, we get: x = 16.

Substituting x = 16 back into (8x), we get: (8 * 16) = 128.

Therefore, the measure of the second angle is 128°.

The correct answer is 128 degrees.

We know that the sum of two adjacent angles that make up a 90° angle is equal to 90°.

So, we have the equation: x + (x + 30) = 90.

Combining like terms, we get: 2x + 30 = 90.

Subtracting 30 from both sides, we get: 2x = 60.

Dividing both sides by 2, we get: x = 30.

Therefore, the value of x is 30.

The correct answer is 30.

Since a right angle measures 90°, we can set up the equation:

x + (x + 30) = 90

Combining like terms, we get:

2x + 30 = 90

Subtracting 30 from both sides, we get:

2x = 60

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 30

So one angle measures 30°, and the other angle measures x + 30 = 30 + 30 = 60°.

Therefore, the two angle measures are 30° and 60°.

The correct answer is 30 degrees and 60 degrees.

Since a straight line (180° angle) is formed by two adjacent angles, we can set up the equation:

(2x + 3) + (x - 6) = 180

Combining like terms, we get:

3x - 3 = 180

Adding 3 to both sides, we get:

3x = 183

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

x = 61

So one angle has a measure of (2x + 3) = (2 * 61) + 3 = 125°, and the other angle has a measure of (x - 6) = 61 - 6 = 55°.

Therefore, the measures of the two angles that make up the straight line are 125° and 55°.

The correct answer is 125 degrees and 55 degrees.
