Answer:


\displaystyle 2

Step-by-step Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding Angles are parallel and congruent, thereby set both expressions equivalent to each other:


\displaystyle 101° = [-8x + 117]° \hookrightarrow (-16)/(-8) = (-8x)/(-8) \\ \\ \boxed{2 = x}

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

X=2 because (-8x+117)=101 if x=2 -8*2=-16. -16+117=101
