Question

Lines q and r are parallel What is the value of x?
A.14
B. 22
C. 53
D. 70

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure it is C

Explanation:

If you look right above x, you will see that the triangle is the same size as the x triangle. So the are gonna be the same degrees. (53 degrees)

Answer 2

53°( vertically opposite angles)

57°( alternative angles)

According to the above problem,

`5x + 53 + 57 = 180 \\ 5x + 110 = 180 \\ 5x = 70 \\ x = (70)/(5) \\ \boxed{x = 14}`

(A) 14 is the right answer.
