To find the value of x, we can use the information given in the problem.
The sum of angle M and angle L is 116°, so we can set up the equation:
M + L = 116°
Substituting the given values:
50° + (7x - 4)° = 116°
Combining like terms:
7x + 46 = 116
Subtracting 46 from both sides:
7x = 70
Dividing both sides by 7:
x = 10
Therefore, the value of x is 10.
