Because the angles are opposite, the value is the same so an equation could be
4x+26=12x-38
Add 38 to both sides
4x+26+38=12x-38+38
4x+64=12x
Subtract 4 from both sides
4x+64-4x=12x-4x
64=8x
Divide both sides by 8
64/8=8x/8
8=x
Hope this helped!

4x+26 = 12x-38

4x+64=12x

64 = 8x

x = 64/8 = 8

x = 8
