Answer:
x = 3
Explanation:
The two given angles are alternate interior angles, meaning that there measurements will be exactly the same. Set the two measurements equal to each other:
36x + 2 = 110
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& roots)
Multiplications
Divisions
Additions
Subtractions

First, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
36x + 2 = 110
36x + 2 (-2) = 110 (-2)
36x = 110 - 2
36x = 108
Next, divide 36 from both sides of the equation:
(36x)/36 = (108)/36
x = 108/36
x = 3
3 is your answer for x.
