Answer 1

@JakeV8 Could you help me with this please? :)

Answer 2

Adjacent (same side) angles on a trapezoid need to add up to 180 degrees, because the top and base are parallel (making those angles same side interior angles between parallel lines).

So:
(3x + 8) + (3x - 2) = 180

Answer 3

now that you have it set up, you just need to simplify that equation and solve for x.

Answer 4

What do you get when you simplify the equation?
