Answer:
[tex]x=14[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex](5x-14)+(8x+12)=180[/tex]
These two angles on the line is 180°
Solve the equation:
[tex]5x-14+8x+12=180[/tex]
[tex]5x+-14+8x+12=180[/tex]
[tex](5x+8x)+(-14+12)=180[/tex] {combine the like terms}
[tex]13x-2=180[/tex]
[tex]13x=180+2[/tex]
[tex]13x=182[/tex]
[tex]x=182/13[/tex]
[tex]x=14[/tex]
PROOF:
{substitute 14 in the place of x}
[tex](5(14)-14)+(8(14)+12)=180[/tex]
[tex]56+124=180[/tex]
[tex]180=180[/tex]
hope this helps....
