Practice makes perfect

We want to find the value of x. Let's take a look at the angles.

The labeled angles are adjacent angles and together they form a straight angle. This means that the sum of the angles measures 180^(∘). 15+ 15x=180 Let's solve the equation for x.
15 + 15x = 180
15x = 165
15x/15 = 165/15
x = 11
