Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

We can see that the the 32 degree angle plus the equation (9x + 4) is equal to 90 degrees.

We know this because the bottom line is a 180 degree angle, and we can see on the other side that it is a right angle.

If we were to turn that into an equation it would like like this:

(9x + 4) + 32 = 90

Now you just have to solve for x.

9x + 4 + 32 = 90

Combine like terms:

9x + 36 = 90

Subtract 36 from both sides

9x = 54

divide both sides by 9

x = 6

and you are left with the answer.
