After setting the angle measurements equal to one another and solving for x, the result is 32.67, which is not one of the provided options. This implies there might be an error in the interpretation of the question or provided options.

To find the value of x when m22 = (3x + 2)° and m23 = 100°, we use the information provided. Since m22 and m23 represent measures of angles, and the question seems to imply that they are equal, we can set the expressions equal to each other and solve for x:

  • (3x + 2)° = 100°
  • 3x + 2 = 100
  • 3x = 100 - 2
  • 3x = 98
  • x = 98 / 3
  • x = 32.67

However, given the options presented, this solution does not match any of them, and we should re-verify the information or the interpretation of the problem.
