Help me please with this

Since both angle are congruent (equal/same), which means that both side is equal to 40 degrees, we will put the equation like this:

5x - 5 = 40

Now we’ll solve for x:

5x - 5 = 40
+ 5 + 5 (Add 5 to both sides)

5x = 45
—- —— (Five both side by 5)
5 5

x = 9

Now we left with x, so x is equal to 9.
