Question

How do you solve for x when you have this problem below please explain !!​

Answer 1

The value of x is 16

Explanation:

We can clearly see in the diagram that a transversal is intersecting two parallel lines.

When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, eight angles are formed.

The angles which are in the same position on same side of each line intersected by the transversal, are called corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles are congruent.

So,

Angle 6x+4° and 100° will be congruent or equal

`6x+4 = 100\\6x =100-4\\6x = 96\\(6x)/(6) = (96)/(6)\\x = 16`

Hence,

The value of x is 16
