Not sure how simplified you need it...
8ab-3b+8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Angle A and angle E are the same value, therefore you could replace angle E with angle A. So that would make a triangle with angle C, angle D, and angle A. Knowing the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, we can make an equation representing this.

Now simply silve the equation to find x.

There is your answer.
Eight less than the product of 2 and a number x is: 2x-8
