Answer:

x = 25

∠A = 148

Explanation:

opposite exterior angle ∠A = ∠B

where

∠A = 6x - 2°

∠B = 4x + 48°

6x - 2° = 4x + 48°

6x - 4x = 48° + 2°

2x = 50°

x = 50°/2

x = 25

plugin x intoA = 6x - 2°

A = 6(25) - 2°

∠A = 148

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Angles A and B are alternate exterior angles: they are on the outside of the parallel lines and opposite sides of the transversal. This means that they are congruent. So, we can set up an equation.

6x-2=4x+48

We subtract 4x from both sides.

2x-2=48

We add 2 to both sides.

2x=50

Divide both sides by 2.

x=25.

Have a wonderful day! :D
