Given <1 and <2 are a linear pair, find the value of x if m<1 = 2x-5 and m<2 = 4x-7

This is geometry, and I need help because I don't know if it adds up to 90 or 180 degrees.

Answer:

32

Explanation:

Linear pair means they form a line, or add to 180°.

2x − 5 + 4x − 7 = 180

6x − 12 = 180

6x = 192

x = 32
