Answer:

a)x=12

b)64 degress

Step-by-step explanation: 1.Due to the law of opposite adjacent angles (or whatever its called) you can set both equations equal to each other- 4x+16=7x-20 2. Use algebra and get 3x=36 3. Divide both sides by 3 to get x=12 (first answer) 4. Now plug 12 in for x in either equations. I chose the bottom to get 4(12)+16 which is equal to 64 (second answer).
