CHECK ATTACHMENT FOR THE DIAGRAM.

Answer:

Angle 7 is 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, notice that angle 4 = angle 5

That is,

Δ4 = Δ2

Because vertically opposite angles are equal.

Δ4 = 7x

Δ2 = 126

So

126 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7

x = 126/7 = 18

Again, angle 5 = angle 7

Δ5 = Δ7

Because vertically opposite angles are equal.

Since Δ5 = (4x + 4)°

And x = 18

Then

Δ7 = 4(18) + 4 = 72 + 4 = 76°
