you don't need to know this for real life situations but for school you do need to know it, i dont know how to do this but here's a link to the same question you have but it's explained on how to solve it

Answer:
110
Step-by-step explanation:
Y and X have to equal 180
70+x+180
=110
We know this angle is a 90° or a right angle. So another words we know adding these 2 expressions equals to 90°.
(4x + 3) + (x - 8) = 90°
Remove the parentheses and combine the like-terms:
5x - 5 = 90°
Add 5 on both sides:
5x = 95°
Divide 5 on both sides
x = 19
You answer is x = 19.
What we have here is called INTERSECTING CHORDS IN A CIRCLE.
The equation is:
10 times x = 7 times 7
10x = 49
x = 49/10
x = 4.9
Here you divide the number from denominator to numerator. Example 3/3=1, 8/2=4 in denominator and 1 in numerator since 2/2=1
