Answer:
x = 8
Explanation:
Part a: <1 and <2 are alternate exterior angles because line horizontal lines are parallel
Part b: the value of x can be calculated with the following equation
7x + 15 = 10x - 9 because alternate angles has same measure
15 + 9 = 10x - 7x
24 = 3x divide both sides by 3
8 = x
