Answer:

-14

Explanation:

Hello,

Let's have a look at this figure and think about how are these two angles related to each other. These two angles are vertically opposite angles, and any two vertically opposite angles should be equal to each other.

Because the two angles should be equal to each other, we can equate the two equations together and solve for x.

9x + 184 = 7x + 156

9x - 7x = 156 - 184

2x = -28

x = -14
