Answer:
B. 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertical angles are supplementary to the same angle.
4x +(2y+x) = 180
(2y-x) +(2y+x) = 180
We can solve the second equation first to find the value of y:
4y = 180 . . . . simplified
2y = 90 . . . . .divide by 2
Substituting into the first equation, we have ...
5x +2y = 180
5x +90 = 180
5x = 90
x = 18 . . . matches choice B
