Solve for x in the following triangle.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

8 + 6x is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus

8 + 6x = 30 + 4x + 2 = 4x + 32 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

8 + 2x = 32 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

2x = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 12
