Answer: x = 184°

Explanation: As we can see in the figure below, angles 2 and 4 are Vertical Angles, i.e., they are angles opposite each other when two lines cross. Vertical angles are always congruent.

Then,

m∠2 = m∠4


92=x.((1)/(2))


92=(x)/(2)

Value of x is


x=92(2)

x = 184

The value of x is 184°.
