Answer:
See Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Given:
[tex]\angle PRS\text{ and } \angle SRT \text{ are a linear pair.}[/tex]
2) Definition of Linear Pair:
[tex]m\angle PRS+m\angle SRT=180[/tex]
3) Given:
[tex]m\angle PRS=2x+12[/tex]
4) Given:
[tex]\displaystyle m\angle SRT=6x+8[/tex]
5) Substitution Property:
[tex](2x+12)+(6x+8)=180[/tex]
6) Combine Like Terms:
[tex]8x+20=180[/tex]
7) Subtraction Property of Equality (subtract 20 from both sides):
[tex]8x=160[/tex]
8) Division Properety of Equality (divide both sides by 8):
[tex]x=20[/tex]
9) Given (this step is optional. You don’t have to include this):
[tex]m\angle PRS=2x+12[/tex]
10) Substitution:
[tex]\displaystyle m\angle PRS=2(20)+12[/tex]
11) Multiplication:
[tex]m\angle PRS=40+12[/tex]
12) Addition:
[tex]m\angle PRS=52[/tex]
