Answer:

x = 20; the labeled angles are 80° and 100° ⇒ the last answer

Explanation:

* Lets revise some facts about a parallelism

- If two lines are parallel, and intersected by a line, there are 3

pair of angles are formed

1) Alternate angles equal in measures (corners of Z letter)

2) Corresponding angles equal in measure (corners in F letter)

3) Interior supplementary angles their sum is 180° (corners of U letter)

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ There are two parallel lines intersect by another line

- The formed U letter

∴ The labeled angles are interior supplementary angles

∴ Their sum = 180°

∴ 5x + 4x = 180° ⇒ add the like terms

∴ 9x = 180° ⇒ divide both sides by 9

∴ x = 20°

* Lets find the measure of the labeled angles

∵ The measure of one of them is 4x°

∴ Its measure = 4(20) = 80°

∵ The measure of the other is 5x°

∴ Its measure = 5(20) = 100°
