I'll write to you here. ok?

Let me load the image and add it to the question

You should see the image in the question now

Ok, let me read the question and catch up

Ok, let's begin the explanation

Parallel lines

Since AB and CD are parallel lines, they form similar angles on any line that crosses them

For example, angle AGH is congruent with angle CHF

Also, angle EGB is congruent with angle EHD

Do you understand the explanation so far?

What is not clear to you?

Just ask

Ok, let's go on

We have established the congruency between angles AGH and CHF

Thus, the measure of CHF is also 4x+30

Please note angles CHF and GHD are vertical angles

Or opposite by the vertex

Such angles are always congruent

Thus, their measures are equal:

4x+30=7x-9

Now we solve the equation

Subtracting 30

4x=7x-9-30=7x-39

Subtracting 7x

4x-7x=-39

Simplifying:

-3x=-39

Dividing by -3

x=-39/(-3)=13

x=13

That is the answer, I cannot see all of the options. Guess there is one with 13

Then 13 is the correct option
