@wendylisette please i dont understand

anonymous · Answer

well linear is 180 so add them and set them equal to 180

anonymous · Answer

it will be 17

anonymous · Answer

yeah i know that part

anonymous · Answer

how you got 17?

anonymous · Answer

because the question is telling you that those two angles make up a linear pair , a linear pair is 180.  so you add 5x + 7 + 2x + 54 = 180 , solve for x
