Line CA is a straight line, meaning it adds up to 180°

Line BE splits the line into two supplementary angles, because when the two angles are added together they will equal 180°

Using the rule of supplementary angles, we can then make the equation 3x + 8x + 15 = 180

Now, simplify the equation by combining like terms

11x + 15 = 180

To solve, isolate x

11x + 15 = 180
11x = 165
x = 15

How to slove for x?

Luba_88 [7]

Ok so you can see 2 triangles that i highlighted, flip it so it is the same direction as you can see from the drawing
using the similar triangle equation
you get
136/64 = x/136
cross multiply and get
64x=18496
x=289

hope it help
