The answer is 14x.
You always have to do whats in the parenthesis first. In this case you would do 7 + x = 7x. Then, you add this 7x to the other 7 x. 7x+7x=14x.
How could it be a fraction? All the numbers are whole & no division? May I assume the #s listed next to each other are multiplied, i.e. 7 2? If so,...
multiply first...
14 * 15 + 10*3 + 1755 (9*13*15)
210 + 30 + 1755
1,995

Answer: x = 4</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
Use the remote interior angle theorem. This says a pair of interior angles always add to the measure of the exterior angle that is not adjacent to any of the interior angles, so basically what your diagram is showing.
(interior angle C) + (interior angle D) = exterior angle
(46) + (-1+8x) = 18x+5
8x+45 = 18x+5
8x-18x = 5-45
-10x = -40
x = -40/(-10)
x = 4
