Question

Help please. I cant figure this one out.

Answer 1

x = 52

Explanation:

Angle 1 and angle 2 are on the same side, and on the inside of the interior. This means that when added together they = 180

We can set up an equation

x+23+x+53 = 180

Simplify: 2x + 76 = 180

Subtract 76 from both sides

2x = 104

Now divide by 2

x = 52

Answer 2

x =52

Explanation:

The angles shown are same side interior angles, and when the lines are parallel, same side interior angles add to 180 degrees

< 1 + <2 = 180

x+23 + x+53 = 180

Combine like terms

2x+ 76 = 180

Subtract 76 from each side

2x+76-76 = 180 -76

2x = 104

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 104/2

x =52
