Answer:
70 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Make an equation
16 + 6x = 8x - 2
Step 2: Add 2 to both sides
16 + 6x + 2 = 8x - 2 + 2
18 + 6x = 8x
Step 3: Subtract 6x from both sides
18 + 6x - 6x = 8x - 6x
18 = 2x
Step 4: Divide both sides by 2
18 / 2 = 2x / 2
9 = x
Step 5: Find the measure
8x - 2
8(9) - 2
72 - 2
70
