what does b equal i need help

Note that ∠A + ∠B = 180°
Therefore:
(8x + 74°) + (2x + 56°) = 180°
Simplify:
10x + 130° = 180°
Subtract both sides by 130°:
10x = 50°
Divide both sides by 10:
x = 5
Plug x into ∠B:
∠B = 2(5) + 56° = 10 + 56° = 66°
Step-by-step explanation: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,
then same side interior angles are supplementary.
So in this problem, we know that m<A + m<B = 180°l.
~substitute
8x + 74 + 2x + 56 = 180
~simplify
10x + 130 = 180
10x = 50
x = 5
If we know that x = 5, we can use this information to find <b.
So we have 2(5) + 56 or 10 + 56 which is 66.
So x = 5 and m<B = 66°.
