(7x+8)=(5x+32)
x=12

7*12 + 8
84 + 8
92
So the measure of ∠FSM is 92 degrees

We know that the measures of vertical angles (angles across from one another) are equal, so we can set up an equation.

5x + 32 = 7x + 8

Now we just solve it like a regular equation and isolate the variable.

32 = 2x + 8

24 = 2x

x = 12

Now, we are looking for the measure of angle FSM, which measures 7x + 8.

If we put in the known value of x (12) into this expression, we get:

7(12) + 8

84 + 8

92

Therefore, the measure of angle fsm is 92 degrees.

Hope this helps! :)
