Answer:

x = 20°

Explanation:

The angle opposite to 3x + 20 is also 3x + 20 (opposite interior angles)

The angle opposite to 5x is also 5x (opposite interior angles)

Solve:

Set up the equation by adding all the angles. The sum of these angles should equal 360.

  • (3x + 20) + (3x + 20) + (5x) + (5x) = 360
  • 16x + 40 = 360
  • 16x = 320
  • x = 20

x = 20°
