So before we find the value of x, let us remember that the sum of two angles is 180 degrees. Now, let us solve for x. 180 = 7x + 2x + 36 180 = 9x + 36 180-36 = 9x 144 = 9x <<divide both sides by 9 and the result would be 16. Therefore x =16. I hope this is the answer that you are looking for. Let me know if you need more help next time.
