no you have to create a equation it would be x + y = 180 degrees ( because x and y are supplementary and supplementary angles have a sum of 180 degrees )

SwaggyMark · Answer

we are given the value of y so we plug that in to the equation giving us 
x + 156 = 180
from there solve for x

Lazorwolf64 · Answer

The thing that im not getting is how did you get y?

SwaggyMark · Answer

sorry angle y
