63 - 2x = 79 - 3x

x = 79 - 63

x = 16°

-----------------

check

63 - 2 * 16 = 79 - 3 * 16

Answer:

  • x = 16

Explanation:

We know that:

  • ∠1 = ∠2 (Corresponding Angles)
  • ∠1 = 63 - 2x
  • ∠2 = 79 - 3x

Solution:

  • 63 - 2x = 79 - 3x
  • => 3x - 2x = 79 - 63
  • => x = 16

Hence, the measure of x is 16.
