Answer:

10

Explanation:

Property : -

When 2 lines intersect, vertically opposite angles are equal.

(5x) and (7x - 20) are vertically opposite angles.

So,

7x - 20 = 5x

Step 1 : Subtract 5x on both sides.

7x - 5x - 20 = 0

2x - 20 = 0

Step 2 : Add 20 on both sides.

2x = 20

Step 3 : Divide 2 on both sides.

x = 20/2

x = 10

Hence,

The value of x is 10.
