B) x = 12; 42 degrees
C) x = 17; 52 degrees
D) x = 5.4; 60.4 degrees

Answer 1

what can we eliminate?

Answer 2

Can somebody help me

Answer 3

The two angles in your picture are known as Same Side Exterior Angles

Same Side Exterior Angles are two angles that will add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore you can set up the equation:
2x + 18 + 6x + 26 = 180

Do you know how to solve for x? @Shantelsurry
