Answer:

x=147°

Explanation:

1. Analyze: The angle opposite to the 33 degree angle is 33 degrees because they are vertical angles.

2. Make an equation: The sum of all four angles (x, the angle opposite of x, the 33 degree angle, and the angle opposite of the 33 degree angle) is 360°. Therefore the equation would be (33°x2)+2x= 360°.

3. Solve for x:

a. Multiply 33 by 2

66+2x=360

b. Subtract 66 from both sides

66+2x=360

-66 -66

2x=294

c. Divide both sides by 2


(2x)/(2) =(294)/(2)

x=147

4. Remember to add your label- the degree sign (°)

x=147°
