The value of x is - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the angles ∠AOC and ∠BOD are vertical angles. The vertical angles have same measure of angles. Therefore, ∠AOC is equal to ∠BOD.

⇒ 26° = 2x+32

⇒ 2x = 26-32

⇒ 2x = - 6

⇒ x = - 6/2

⇒ x = - 3

Substitute x=-3 in ∠BOD = 2x+32

∠BOD = 2 (-3) + 32 = 26°
