Answer:x=90

Step-by-step explanation:Angles 1 and 4 must be equal to each other, as they are corresponding angles, so you set 3x-160 equal to x+20 and after solving, you get x is equal to 90.

Answer:

x = 90

Explanation:

The diagram shows that angles 1 and 4 correspond with each other. Given that the two lines should be parallel, corresponding angles have the same answer. When corresponding angles cross at the same relative location (known as the junction), they will have the same angle measure.

So, set the 1st and 4th angles equal to each other.

3x-160 = x+20

2x = 180

x=90
