m∠5=112° and m∠8=(2x+8)°. What equation will solve for x?
To find the equation that will solve for x, we need to find an equation that relates the given angles to each other.
According to the problem, m∠5 and m∠8 are related in some way, but we don't know the specific relationship between them. Therefore, we need to use the given information to form an equation.
Since the measure of an angle is given as the expression (2x + 8)°, we can set this expression equal to the measure of the angle it is being compared to. In this case, it is being compared to m∠5. Thus, the equation can be written as:
2x + 8 = 112
This equation can be solved to find the value of x.
