Answer:
x= 7 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the 1/2 to get it out of the way (whatever you do on one side of the = sign you have to do to the other)
So 10- 1/2= 9 1/2
Subtract the 2 to get it out of the way
9 1/2-2=
7 1/2

Total angles on a straight line
(9x + 8) + 37 = 180
9x + 45 = 180
9x = 180 - 45
9x = 135
Divide through by 9
x = 15
