Since the graph given to us is a straight line we know that the value of it is 180° since the value of a straight line is always 180°. Now we have to solve for x and to do that we add the 2 values given to us and set it equal to 180°.

4x-4+4x=180

Now we combine the like terms on the left side of the equation.

8x-4=180

Now we have to add the 4 to both sides.

8x=184

Now to get the x by itself (find the value of x) we have to divide the 8 on both sides.

x=23

Now that we have found x we can plug it back into the equation for number 1 [(4x-4)] and solve to find the value of number 1.

4(23)-4=88

Answer: 88°

Hope this helps :)
