Answer:


x=17°

Explanation:

Because the diagonal lines are marked with arrows, we know that they are parallel. The two angles that are marked with measures are same-side interior angles. Same-side interior angles of parallel lines are supplementary, meaning that the sum of their measures is
180°.

Now, with all of this information, we can set up the following equation and solve for
x:


115+4x-3=180


112+4x=180 (Simplify LHS by combining like terms)


112+4x-112=180-112 (Subtract
112 from both sides of the equation to isolate
x)


4x=68 (Simplify)


(4x)/(4)=(68)/(4) (Divide both sides of the equation by
4 to get rid of
x's coefficient)


x=17° (Simplify)

Hope this helps!
