The diagram shows a right angle.
Write an equation to determine the value of x. Solve for x.

8x + (6x + 6) = 90°

x = 6°

Step-by-step explanation:

because it is a right angle, the sum of the angles = 90°

8x + (6x + 6°) = 90°

simplify:

14x + 6° = 90°

subtract 6° from each side:

14x = 84°

divide both sides by 14:

x = 6°

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
