Answer:

x = 17

Explanation:

The two given angles are supplementary angles, but also all angles on a straight light must add up to 180°:

3x + 14 + 7x - 4 = 180

Add like terms

3x + 7x + 14 - 4 = 180

10x + 10 = 180

Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate 10x:

10x + 10 - 10 = 180 - 10

10x = 170

Divide both sides by 10:

10x ÷ 10 = 170 ÷ 10

x = 17

Hope this helps!
