6 m by 8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

They are asking you to combine like terms. The total should be 180.

Givens

2 angles

8x - 3
4x + 3

Total 180

Solution

8x - 3 + 4x + 3 = 180 The threes cancel. So add what's left. They are of opposite signs, so they cancel.

12x = 180 Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 180 /12

x = 15
