Angle Relationships

A straight angle is one that measures 180° and appears to be a straight line.

As we can see from the diagram, the given angles are along one straight line. Therefore, they have a sum of 180°.

`(7x-1)+(6x-1)=180`

Solve for x:

`7x-1+6x-1=180\\13x-2=180\\13x=182\\x=14`

Therefore, x=14.
