That depends. What's the relationship between angles 1 and 2? Are they congruent? Supplementary? Something else?

If they're congruent, set them equal to each other: 60=4x+36. To solve, subtract 36 on both sides, getting 24=4x, then divide by 4, and x=6.

If they're supplementary, then they add to 180. Thus, 60+4x+36=180. Combine like terms on the left, getting 96+4x=180. Subtract 96 on both sides to get 4x=84. Divide both sides by 4, and x=21.
