Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't read it very well but one equation might be

2x + 8 = 3x - 12

(because the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

B. (3x - 12)° = (2x + 8)°

This equation can be used to solve x.

3x - 12 = 2x + 8

3x - 2x = 12 + 8

x = 20°

Verification:

3(20) - 12 = 2(20) + 8

60 - 12 = 40 + 8

48° = 48°

Hence, verified.
