Take into account that angle 9x+7 and 115 are congruent because they are alternate exterior angles.

Then, you can write:

9x + 7 = 115

Solve the previous equation as follow:

9x + 7 = 115 subtract 7 both sides and simplify

9x = 115 - 7

9x = 108 divide by 9 both sides

x = 108/9

x = 12

Hence, the value of x is x = 12
