Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "By your description of the
\n" ); document.write( "problem, it would appear
\n" ); document.write( "that if the angle adjacent to
\n" ); document.write( "the alternate angle with angle 1
\n" ); document.write( "measuring(14x + 8) is added to
\n" ); document.write( "the alternate angle with angle 1
\n" ); document.write( "they will = 180 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "(Both on straight line)
\n" ); document.write( "(4x + 28) + (14x + 8) = 180
\n" ); document.write( "Remove brackets
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 28 + 14x + 8 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 14x = 180 - 28 - 8
\n" ); document.write( "18x = 144
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
