Answer:


x = 24 {}^(o)

Explanation:

The angle x and BOC are supplementary, then


\widehat{BOC} + x = 180 {}^(o) \\ then \: \: 156 {}^(o) + x = 180 {}^(o) \\ hence \: \: x = 180 {}^(o) - 156 {}^(o) = 24^(o)

The measure of x is 24 degrees
One straight line is 180 degrees
We already have another line that forms an angle with the straight line and it gives u 156
So just subtract 156 from 180 to see what remains and that’s the answer
