Answer:
x=108
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
m∠RQS≅m∠QLK -----> by corresponding angles
m∠KLM+m∠QLK=180° -----> by supplementary angles (consecutive interior angles)
we have that
m∠RQS=x° ----> given problem
so
m∠QLX=x°
m∠KLM=(x-36)° ----> given problem
substitute
