Question 3.

Given the alternate interior angles:

(5x - 4) and 46 degrees

Let's solve for x.

Alternate interior angles are congruent. ruent. Since they are congruent, the measure of the angles are equal.

Thus, we have the equation:

5x - 4 = 46

Let's solve for x.

Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

5x - 4 + 4 = 46 + 4

5x = 50

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:


\begin{gathered} (5x)/(5)=(50)/(5) \\ \\ x=10 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of x is 10.

ANSWER:

x = 10

ruent.
