Since these equations are consecutive interior angles, they will add up to 180.
The equation will be (x+20)°+(4x-5)°=180.

(x+20)+(4x-5)=180
5x+15=180
5x=165
165/5x
=33°

You can make sure your answer is correct by putting your x back into the equation.
(33+20)+(4•33-5)
53+132-5
53+127
180

Answer:

25/3

Explanation:

Set the equations equal to each other since the lines are parallel.

(x+20)=(4x-5)

-x +5 -x +5

25/3 = 3x/3

x = 25/3
