Answer:

A) x=8 and angle ABC=115 degrees

Explanation:

the lines are parallel, meaning the angles are congruent.

you can set up the equation (15x-5)=(10x+35) and simplify.

1. separate variable by subtracting 10x on both sides to get (5x-5)=(35)

2. add 5 on both sides to get 5x=40

3. divide both sides by 5 to get x=8

4. plug x=8 into original function (10x+35) to get (10(8)+35) which equals 115 degrees
