Answer:
70 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Make an equation</u>
<em>16 + 6x = 8x - 2</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Add 2 to both sides</u>
16 + 6x + 2 = 8x - 2 + 2
<em>18 + 6x = 8x</em>
<em />
<u>Step 3: Subtract 6x from both sides</u>
18 + 6x - 6x = 8x - 6x
<em>18 = 2x</em>
<em />
<u>Step 4: Divide both sides by 2</u>
18 / 2 = 2x / 2
<em>9 = x</em>
<em />
<u>Step 5: Find the measure</u>
8x - 2
8(9) - 2
72 - 2
<em>70</em>
