Hence the angles are equal to each other you get 54-8 and 48-2x after u add 2x to both and subtract 48 and divide by 6 u get 1

Answer:

X = 1

Explanation:

Since the angles are alternate exterior angles, they're equal to each other. This means that you can set 54 - 8x and 48 - 2x equal to each other. After you add 2x to both sides, then subtract 48 from both sides, and divide by 6 to get x by itself, you get x = 1 as a result. :)
