Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

If the lines containing points A, B, C, D are parallel, then those two angles are equal because they would be corresponding angles. Therefore, you would set up this equation:

25x - 17 = 20x + 8

Subtract 20x from both sides

5x - 17 = 8

Add 17 to both sides

5x = 25

Divide both sides by 5

x = 5
