Answer:
x = 8
Explanation:
You want to know the value of x in an expression for an angle measure at parallel lines.
Angles at a transversal
Where at transversal crosses parallel lines, all acute angles created are congruent, all obtuse angles created are congruent, and the acute angles are supplementary to the obtuse angles.
The angle marked 83° is acute. The angle marked (12x+1)° is obtuse, so these angles are supplementary:
83° +(12x +1)° = 180°
12x +84 = 180 . . . . . . . divide by ° and simplify
12x = 96 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 84
x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 12
The value of x is 8.
