Answer:

x = 8

Explanation:

The angles shown are vertical angles

Vertical angles are congruent (equal to each other)

This means that 8x + 36 = 5x + 60

Using this equation we can solve for x

8x + 36 = 5x + 60

==> subtract 36 from both sides

8x = 5x + 24

==> subtract 5x from both sides

3x = 24

==> divide both sides by 3

x = 8
