Question

the measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. x.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
$x = $

Explanation:

Step1: Sum triangle angles to 180°

$44 + 61 + (8x + 11) = 180$

Step2: Simplify left-hand side

$44 + 61 + 11 + 8x = 180$
$116 + 8x = 180$

Step3: Isolate the term with $x$

$8x = 180 - 116$
$8x = 64$

Step4: Solve for $x$

$x = \frac{64}{8}$

Answer:

$x = 8$
