When angles form a linear pair, their sum is 180°.
8x 3 + 4x + 3 = 180
[?]+[] = 180
Hint: First we must combine like terms. Calculate the sum
of 8x and 4x and enter the value of the coefficient.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

They are asking you to combine like terms. The total should be 180.

Givens

2 angles

  • 8x - 3
  • 4x + 3

Total 180

Solution

8x - 3 + 4x + 3 = 180        The threes cancel. So add what's left. They are of opposite signs, so they cancel.

12x = 180                           Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 180 /12                        

x = 15

Explanation -:

In this question we are provided with the two angles that is 8x - 3 and 4x + 3 respectively. It is also given that the sum of this two angles is 180°.

To solve this question we will combine the like terms and there sum must be 180°.
