Question

Find the value of x. Give reasons to justify your solution.

Answer 1

I believe it’s x = 19

Answer 2

x = 19

Explanation:

xw // yz (known)

∠zyw = ∠ywx (alternate interior angle)

∠ywx = 90 - (3x-5) (complimentary angle property)

2x = 90 - (3x-5) = - 3x +95 (substitution)

5x = 95

x = 19
