Answer:

x = -14

Explanation:

The two marked angles are called vertical angles and they are EQUAL to each other. Write an equation:

9x + 184 = 7x + 156

subtract 7x from both sides.

2x + 184 = 156

subtract 184 from both sides.

2x = -28

divide by 2.

x = -14

to find the measure of the angles, substitute in -14 for x. They both come out to be 58°.
