Answer:

x=35

Explanation:

The expressions are corresponding angles which are congruent.

Set the two equations equal to each other.

2x+20=3x-15

Add and subtract like terms

35=1x

Divide:

35/1=35

X=35

Hope this helps! :)

Correct me if I'm wrong!

Answer:

X = 35

Explanation:

Since the line is crossing two parallel lines the measurements are equal then you solve for X.

2X + 20 = 3X - 15

-2X -2X

20 = X - 15

+15 +15

35 = X
