Explanation:

This is a right triangle which means one of the angles is 90° and since the sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180 then the sum of two other angles must be 90

7x + 6 + 6x - 7 = 90 add like terms

13x - 1 = 90 add 1 to both sides

13x = 91 now divide both sides by 13

x = 7 to find each angle replace x with 7

7x + 6 = 7×7 - 6 = 55° and

6x - 7 = 6×7 - 7 = 35°
