Apply the definition of linear pair, the measure of angle 1 is calculated as: 33°.

What are Linear Pair Angles?

If two angles are a linear pair, then, the sum of their angle measures equal 180 degrees.

We are given that angle 1 and angle 2 are a linear pair. This means that:

Measure of angle 1 + measure of angle 2 = 180

Measure of angle 1 = x

Measure of angle 2 = 5x - 18

Substitute

x + 5x - 18 = 180

6x - 18 = 180

6x = 180 + 18

6x = 198

6x/6 = 198/6

x = 33

Measure of angle 1 = x = 33°.
