Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The two marked angles are supplementary:
(7x -2) +(4x +6) = 180
11x +4 = 180
11x = 176
x = 176/11 = 16
The value of x is 16.

Additional comment
The angle on the left is 110°; the one on the right is 70°, so that answer checks.
These marked angles are called "consecutive exterior" angles. Just as "consecutive interior" angles are supplementary, so are consecutive exterior angles.
Essentially, all of the obtuse angles are congruent, as are all of the acute angles. The obtuse angles are supplementary to the acute angles.
