Answer: x=9

Step-by-step explanation: First of all, the two shown inner angles are equivalent. This allows you to set up an equation like: (5x+4)=49

Then simply use algebra to solve...

(5x+4)=49

-4 -4 (subtract "4" from each side)

5x=45

5x/5=45/5 (divide each term in the equation by "5")

x=9

Hope this helps!

Answer:

9

They're vertical angles, so they are equal:

5x + 4 = 49

subtract 4 from both sidese

5x = 45

divide both sides by 5
