Answer:
x = 24
Explanation:
We know that lines s and t are parallel. Then by definition, the two labelled angles, which are same-side angles, are congruent and equal in measure.
Then, we set the expressions equal to each other:
7x - 48 = 5x
Subtract 5x from both sides:
7x - 5x - 48 = 0
2x - 48 = 0
Add 48 to both sides:
2x = 48
Divide by 2:
x = 48/2 = 24
Thus, x = 24.
