Solve for x in the following triangle.

Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
8 + 6x is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus
8 + 6x = 30 + 4x + 2 = 4x + 32 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
8 + 2x = 32 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
2x = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 12
