If possible, will you also please show me how you set up the equation to solve this because I would like to learn how to do problems similar to this one as well.

180 - x = 7(90 - x)
180 - x = 630 - 7x
6x = 450
x = 75 Degrees, the angle.
15 degrees the complement.
105 degrees, the supplement.
7(15) = 105 this does check.
