Answer:

x = 17

Explanation:

Given angles are vertical angles and they have equal measurements.

We can write the following equation to find the value of x based on this information:

8x - 27 = 6x + 7 transfer like terms to the same side of the equation

8x - 6x = 27 + 7 add/subtract

2x = 34 divide both by 2

x = 17
