What was the main reason Europeans were able to exploit other regions and dominate world trade during this era?

Historians generally recognize three motives for European exploration and colonization in the New World: God, gold, and glory.

Explanation: The continuing spread of industrialization in the empire-building countries came a shift in the strategy of trade with the colonial world.

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
