To solve each problem, we use the
Linear Pair Theorem, which states:
> If two angles form a linear pair (i.e., they are adjacent and their non-common sides form a straight line), then they are
supplementary — meaning their measures add up to
180°.
So for each diagram, we set up the equation:
> Angle 1 + Angle 2 = 180°
Then solve for `x`.

Problem 1 (Top Left)
Angles: `2x + 5` and `65°`
Equation:
```
(2x + 5) + 65 = 180
2x + 70 = 180
2x = 110
x = 55
```
✔ Answer: x = 55
---
Problem 2 (Top Right)
Angles: `136°` and `4x + 12`
Equation:
```
136 + (4x + 12) = 180
4x + 148 = 180
4x = 32
x = 8
```
✔ Answer: x = 8
---
Problem 3 (Middle Left)
Angles: `45°` and `5x + 25`
Equation:
```
45 + (5x + 25) = 180
5x + 70 = 180
5x = 110
x = 22
```
✔ Answer: x = 22
---
Problem 4 (Middle Right)
Angles: `7x - 8` and `76°`
Equation:
```
(7x - 8) + 76 = 180
7x + 68 = 180
7x = 112
x = 16
```
✔ Answer: x = 16
---
Problem 5 (Bottom Left)
Angles: `3x - 17` and `122°`
Equation:
```
(3x - 17) + 122 = 180
3x + 105 = 180
3x = 75
x = 25
```
✔ Answer: x = 25
---
Problem 6 (Bottom Right, First Row)
Angles: `80°` and `8x - 36`
Equation:
```
80 + (8x - 36) = 180
8x + 44 = 180
8x = 136
x = 17
```
✔ Answer: x = 17
---
Problem 7 (Bottom Left, Second Row)
Angles: `4x - 30` and `106°`
Equation:
```
(4x - 30) + 106 = 180
4x + 76 = 180
4x = 104
x = 26
```
✔ Answer: x = 26
---
Problem 8 (Bottom Right, Second Row)
Angles: `x + 40` and `52°`
Equation:
```
(x + 40) + 52 = 180
x + 92 = 180
x = 88
```
✔ Answer: x = 88
---
