Answer:

x = 11 --> angles = 95 degrees

Explanation:

They are equal to each other so

7x + 18 = 8x + 7

Put the like terms together

18 - 7 = 8x - 7x

11 = x

so when we substitute this value of x into the equations, we get that both angles are 95 degrees.

Hope this helps!

7x + 18 = 8x + 7 bcuz they are alternate exterior angles
18-7 = 8x - 7x
11 = x

So the angle measures are
95 and 95
