Answer:
x= 56
Step-by-step explanation:
86+94= 180 which if supplementary angles have to equal 180°
I don't know if you can tell but what's in red means distribute
then I added 26 on both sides with like terms
on the left side 86+26=112 and right side is left with 2x
then divide both sides by 2 to leave x by itself
112/2= 56 and 2x/2=x
so 56=x
