Answer:

x = 32

Explanation:

(5x - 43) = (4x - 11) because the angles are vertically opposite

TAKE AWAY 11 FROM BOTH SIDES

(5x - 32) = 4x

SWAP -32 OVER TO +32 BY MOVING IT TO THE OTHER HALF OF THE EQUATION

5x = 4x + 32

SWAP 4x OVER BY DOING SAME THING

4x BECOMES NEGATIVE

5x - 4x = 32

FIND LIKE TERMS

1x = 32

x = 32
