Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

The shown angles appear to be on a straight line

Angles on a straight line have a sum of 180°

That being said we can create an equation using this relationship

180 = x + 2 + 153

now we solve for x using basic algebra

step 1 combine like terms

153 + 2 = 155

now we have 180 = x + 155

step 2 subtract 155 from each side

180 - 155 = 25

155 - 155 cancels out

we're left with x = 25
