What is the sum of the measures of two supplementary?

We want to find the value of x.
Because the angles in the diagram make up a straight line, we know that they are supplementary. This means that the sum of their measures should equal 180^(∘). We can solve for x by creating an equation using the expressions for the two smaller angles and their sum.
