Answer:
-17
Explanation:
The two angles that are shown are *corresponding angles* which means they lie in the same spot, just on two different parallel lines. They are congruent angles. Therefore, you should set up an equation to solve for x. Since the two angles are congruent, you should set the expressions equal to each other. 3x-12=4x+5.
The angles are corresponding angles so when the lines are parallel, the lines are equal
3x-12 = 4x+5
Subtract 3x from each side
3x-12 -3x = 4x+5-3x
-12 = x+5
Subtract 5 from each side
-12 -5 = x+5-5
-17 = x
