Answer: x=45

Explanation:

To solve for x, we first need to understand the figure. We know TV and RS are parallel lines. If we extend TV to the left, we get a straight line parallel to RS. By Alternate Interior Angles, We know ∠R is equivalent to ∠T on the very left. Therefore, we can set it equal to 180° and solve.

x+2x+x=180 [combine like terms]

4x=180 [divide both sides by 4]

x=45

Now, we know x=45.
