Answer 1

Answer:

OPTION A:24°

3x+8 and 5x-40 are vertically opposite angle..

Therefore,Both angles will be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+8=5x-40

5x-3x=8+40.

2x=48.

x=24..

Answer 2

Answer: A. 24

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.
3x + 8 − 5x = 5x − 40 − 5x
−2x +8 = −40

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.
−2x + 8 − 8 = −40 − 8
−2x = −48

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.
−2x − 2 = −48 −2
x = 24
