Explanation:

When President Franklin D. Roosevelt took over as President, the country was in the grip of the Great Depression. An unprecedented number of Americans were unemployed and could not afford their living expenses.

Up till then it was a general belief in the United States that the government should not be involved in the economy but Roosevelt came with a new idea. He believed that the government should involve itself as this was the only way to restore balance and so he initiated a slew of agencies and projects aimed at employing Americans in their numbers.

if triangle abc is congruent to triangle def, their interior angles are congruent, because congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent (cpctc).

that means ∠d is congruent to ∠a; ∠d is equal to 8x - 2.

interior angles of all triangles add to equal 180 degrees, so you can set the sum of these interior angle values equal to 180 and solve for x.

180 = (8x - 2) + 22 + 72

180 = 8x - 2 + 22 + 72

180 = 8x + 92

88 = 8x

11 = x

x = 11
