I’ve been able to figure out the rest of the questions but this one has me stumped. I need to solve for x. Can someone please write the steps down so I can learn what to do?

Answer:

X= -11

Explanation:

Combine the two equations to equal a supplementary line

(X+91)=(x+111)=180

Solve for x by reversing the equation

(x)+(x)=(180-91)+(-111)

x=-22/2

x=-11

then check it

explanation:
x+91 and x+111 are supplementary angles (they add up to 180), so you would set an equation by adding both of them to equal 180:
x + 91 + x + 111 = 180
add like terms
2x + 202 = 180
subtract 202 from both sides
2x = -22
divide both sides by 2 to get the answer:
x = -11
