Answer:

x = 60

Explanation:

1. First of all, we must know that these angles are corresponding. That means they're congruent in angle measures.

2. Given the information above, 2x + 15 = 135.

3. (Solving)

Step 1: Subtract 15 from both sides.


  • 2x + 15 - 15 = 135 - 15

  • 2x = 120

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.


  • (2x)/(2) = (120)/(2)

  • x = 60

Step 3: Check if solution is correct.


  • 2(60)+15=135

  • 120 + 15 = 135

  • 135 = 135

Therefore, x = 60.
