Question

Lines AB and CD are parallel. If 26 measures (4x - 34), and 28 measures 106°, what is the value of x?

A. x = 17
B. x=254
C. x=27
D. x= 106

Answer 1

x = 27

Explanation:

(4x-34)+106 = 180 because they are supplementary angles

subtract 106 from each side

4x-34 = 74

add 34 to each side

4x = 108

divide both sides by 4

x = 27
