Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

These angles are equal, and I think its called the alternate interior angles theorem. So all you have to do is set them equal to each other and solve for x:

9x + 5 = 8x + 15

Put the independent numbers and the x's on the same side, by subtracting 8x and 5 from each side:

x = 10

There You have x.

Hope this helped!

Alternate interior angles are equal to eachother so we can write

9x + 5 = 8x + 15

simplify

x = 10
