x = 52°

Step-by-step explanation:

q || p

To determine x, we need an illustration for better understanding:

Drawing a line to divide point B:

The two angles marked with magenta are alternate angles. Alternate angles are equal.

SInce one of the angle is 31 degrees. The other one is also 31 degrees

The two angles with green are alternate angles. The angles are equal.

One of the angle is 21 degrees. The other one is also 21 degrees

Angle ABC = angle marked in magenta + angle marked in green

Angle ABC = 31 degrees + 21 degrees

Angle ABC = 52 degrees

x = Angle ABC

Hence, x = 52°

Solve for x, given that q || p and s || r, respectively.-example-1
