11\frac{2}{5}=1\frac{1}{8}x\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 1\frac{1}{8}\\\\
\frac{\frac{57}{5}}{\frac{9}{8}}=x\\\\\frac{57}{5}*\frac{8}{9}=x\\\\
x=\frac{456}{45}=10\frac{2}{15}\\\\

Answer:

Angle A is 118°

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a circle add up to 180, so this means that all the measurements of the three angles add to 180:

x + 2x + 13 + x - 8 = 180

Clean it up:

3x + x + x + 13 -8

5x -5 = 180

To isolate the 5x, you need to move the +5 over to the other side, making it a negative 5:

5x = 180 - 5

5x = 175

Now divide each side by 5 to get the value of 1x:

\frac{5x}{5}  = \frac{175}{5}

x = 35

So angle A is:

3x + 13

3(35) + 13 = 118

<h3>So angle A is 118°</h3>
