118°
x = □
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Identify angle - relationship

The angles $(4x + 38)^{\circ}$ and $118^{\circ}$ are vertical angles. Vertical angles are equal.
So, $4x+38 = 118$.

Step2: Solve the equation for x

Subtract 38 from both sides of the equation:
$4x=118 - 38$.
$4x = 80$.
Then divide both sides by 4:
$x=\frac{80}{4}$.

Answer:

$x = 20$
