Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

From the diagram, we can se that line l is parallel to m. This means that according to geometry, m<7 and m<9 are located on the same position on line n. Hence m<7 = m<9 (corresponding angle)

Given

m<7 = 9x+ 5

m<9 = x+37

Equaling both

9x + 5 = x+ 37

9x - x = 37-5

8x = 32

x = 32/8

x = 4

Hence the value of x is 4
