Answer:

Step 1: m<KHG + m<GHJ=180 degrees

Step 2: x=13

Explanation:

This pair of angles is called vertical angles. In a vertical angle situation, opposite angles are equal to each other. An opposite angle and an adjacent angle are ALWAYS equal to 180 degrees.

To start off...

Make both parts of the equation equal to 180 degrees

5x+38+7x-14=180

Combine like terms and add the regular numbers together

5x+7x and 38 + -14

12x+24=180

Subtract 24 from each side of the equation

12x=156

Divide 12 from each side.

x=13
