Answer:

x=26

Explanation:

by definition of alternate exterior angle rule 8x -71 = 5x +7

What you want to do is get your X's on one side I recommend subtracting 5x so that you don't have to deal with negative values.

8x-5x-71=5x-5x+7

3x-71=7

add 71 to both sides the goal now is trying to get by itself

3x-71+71=7+71

3x=78

now divide both sides by 3

3x/3=78/3

x=26
