Question

Find the measure of the angle indicated in bold

Answer 1

x=5

Explanation:

hey there

the angles given are corresponding angles meaning that they are congruent

so we set up an equation

23x-5=21x+5

step 1 subtract each side by 5

5-5 cancels out

-5-5=-10

now we have

23x-10=21x

step 2 subtract each side by 23x

21x-23x=-2x

now we have

-2x=-10

step 3 divide each side by 2

-10/-2=5

so we can conclude that

x=5
