Answer:

x = 22

Explanation:

Since line m is parallel to line n and there's a transversal we can figure out the value of x.

Both of these angles are consecutive interior angles making them supplementary. When two angles are supplementary, we equal them to 180 degrees.

2x - 26 + 7x + 8 = 180

Combine like terms.

9x - 18 = 180

Add 18 to both sides of the equation.

9x = 198

Divide by 9 from both sides of the equation.

x = 22
