The value of x is 8.

Solution:

Given line p is parallel to line q.

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent.

(11x - 5)° = (7x + 27)°

11x° - 5° = 7x° + 27°

Add 5° on both sides.

11x° = 7x° + 32°

Subtract 7x° from both sides.

4x° = 32°

Divide by 4 on both sides.

x° = 8°

x = 8

The value of x is 8.
