Answer x is 7

Explanation:

The three angles are 104degrees, (9x-25) and unknown

The pictures shows that the two sides are equal therefore the two opposite angles are equal

104 + (9x-25) +(9x-25) =180

RE write

104 +2(9x-25) =180

Subract 104 from both sides

2(9x-25) = 180-104

2(9x-25) = 76

Divide both sides by 2

9x - 25 = 38

Add 25 to both sides

9x = 63

Divide both sides by 9

X =7

The angle is 9x-25 = 38
