Reduce the number of terms in the expression by operating on like terms 
for example
Simplify
x^2 - 3x + 4 + x^2 + 6x - 6

the like terms are the x^2 and x^2 , -3x and 6x and  4 and -6 

so we have
x^2 + x^2 - 3x + 6x + 4 - 6
= 2x^2 + 3x - 2

This is the simplified form of the original expression

I need x and the two angles
barxatty [35]

Answer:

x= 13

both angles are equal to 106

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 2= 14x - 76

-8x +76 - 8x +76

78 = 6x

78/6 = 13

8 (13) + 2 = 104 + 2 = 106

14(13) - 76 = 182 - 76 = 106
