Answer:

x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Both angles are equal. So the equation needs to equal 156.

Just plug in points for x until the answer is 156.

In this case, when we plug in 40, it works!

[tex](3*40)+36=156[/tex]
The two angles are vertically opposite meaning that 156 is equal to 3x + 36.
So, 3x + 36 = 156.
Now, solve it like you would.
1. Bring 36 to the other side.
3x = 156 - 36
3x = 120
2. Now, divide each side by 3
120/3=40
3x/3 = 1
x = 40
