Question

Please help me I don’t understand this and I’m desperate.It ask to solve the equation and what angle it is.

Answer 1

Given two parallel lines intersected by a transversal, you can identify the following pair of angles:

`\begin{gathered} \mleft(6x-100\mright)\degree \\ (2x+4)\degree \end{gathered}`

Notice that those angles are located on the same side of the transversal. One of them is exterior and the other angle is exterior. Therefore, they are a special pair of angles called "Corresponding Angles".

By definition, Corresponding Angles are congruent, which means that they have equal measure.

Knowing that you can set up the following equation:

`6x-100=2x+4`

Now you can solve for "x" in order to find its value:

`\begin{gathered} 6x-2x=4+100 \\ 4x=104 \\ \\ x=(104)/(4) \\ \\ x=26 \end{gathered}`

Now you can substitute the value of "x" into one of the expressio
