Answer:

  • x = 6
  • ∠NBS = 68°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the two adjacent angles is equal to the angle that includes both.

  ∠NBS +∠SBR = ∠NBR . . . . . angle sum theorem

  (12x -4) +42 = (17x +8)

  30 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12x+8

  6 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 5

__

Then the measure of ∠NBS is ...

  ∠NBS = 12x -4 = 12·6 -4

  ∠NBS = 68 . . . . degrees
