The sum of the measure of angle M and L is 116˚
The measure of Angle M is 50˚
The measure of angle L is (7x -4)˚.

Explain
To find the value of x, we use the given information:
The sum of the measure of angles M and L is 116˚, and the measure of Angle M is 50˚.
Let's substitute the given values into the equation:
50˚ + (7x - 4)˚ = 116˚
Simplifying the equation:
50˚ + 7x - 4˚ = 116˚
Combine like terms:
46˚ + 7x = 116˚
Subtract 46˚ from both sides:
7x = 70˚
To find the value of x, we divide both sides by 7:
x = 10
Therefore, the value of x is 10.
