Answer:
1) 5x-13 + 7x-35 = 180
2) x = 19
Explanation:
1) same side interior angles have a sum of 180 degrees
an equation to solve for 'x' would be: 5x-13 + 7x-35 = 180
2) 5x - 13 + 7x - 35 = 180
combine 'like terms' to get:
12x - 48 = 180
add 48 to each side to get:
12x = 228
divide each side by 12 to get:
x = 19
