Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

Lines AB and CD are shown to be parallel. Lines AB and CD are cut by transversal EF.

The angles labeled 3x and x are corresponding angles of two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Corresponding angles of two parallel lines cut by a transversal are congruent.

That makes 3x = x

3x = x

2x = 0

x = 0

If x = 0, then 3x = 0.

A transversal line cannot intersect two parallel lines at an angle of 0 degrees with the parallel lines. Therefore, this situation cannot exist, and there is no answer to this question.
