Answer is 31

How you solve this is:
The whole line equals to 180 degrees so add 5x-16+x+10=180 that’s will be your equation. And then subtract 10 to 180 so then it will be 5x-16+x=170 then add 16 to 170 and you will be left with 5x+x=186 add the x’s together and get 6x divide 6 to 186 and then x=31

Answer:

x=31

Explanation:

Since these angles are on a straight line, they are supplementary (combine to make 180 degrees. Therefore we can set up an equation to find x.

(5x-16)+(x+10)=180

Drop the parentheses.

5x-16+x+10=180

Combine like terms.

6x-6=180

Add 6 to both sides.

6x=186

Divide both sides by 6.

x=31

HTH :)
