These angles, 110º and 7xº, are examples of supplementary angles.
Supplementary angles are angles that, when added together, produce a sum of 180º.
This means 110º + 7xº = 180º.

With this equation, 110º + 7xº = 180º, we can isolate the variable and solve for x to answer this question.

110º + 7xº = 180º
The first step to solve for x is to subtract 110º from both sides of the equation.
110º + 7xº - 110º = 7xº
180º - 110º = 70º

7xº = 70º
Since we want 1xº instead of 7xº, we need to divide both sides by 7.
7xº / 7 = xº
70º / 7 = 10º

xº = 10º
Now we have our solution!
The value of x is 10º.

Let's check this to be sure.
7xº, when added to 110º, must equal 180º since 7xº and 110º are supplementary angles.
7xº + 110º = 180º
We found that x is 10º.
7(10)º + 110º = 180º
7 • 10 = 70
70º + 110º = 180º
180º = 180º
This works! That means that x = 10º is in fact the correct answer.

Answer:
x = 10º

Hope this helps!
