Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the relationship between the angles

The given angles are vertical angles, which means they are equal. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 6x + 7 = 8x - 17 \]

Step 2: Solve for \( x \)

First, isolate \( x \) by moving all \( x \)-terms to one side and constants to the other side: \[ 6x + 7 = 8x - 17 \] Subtract \( 6x \) from both sides: \[ 7 = 2x - 17 \] Add 17 to both sides: \[ 24 = 2x \] Divide both sides by 2: \[ x = 12 \]

Final Answer

\[ x = 12 \]
