Answer:

x=2/7

Explanation:

The most important thing to note is that angle A and angle B are vertical angles. Vertical angles are always equal. So, you can set 4x+2=11x and solve.

To get x by itself, subtract 4x from both sides to get 2=7x. Then divide 7 from both sides which gets x equal to 2/7.
