Okay so you know a straight line is equal to 180 degrees, so you set them up in an algebraic equation. (5x+2)+48=180 subtract 48 first to get 5x+2=132 Subtract the 2 this time to get 130. Now you end up with 5x=130. Here you divide 130 by 5 to get X=26. If you just need to find the degree of that angle tho you can stop after the first subtraction because the math tells you (5x+2)=132 degrees.
