Question

The image shows parallel lines cut by a transversal. The expressions represent unknown angle measurements. What is the value of

x?
A)
2
B)
4
C)
6
D)
8

Answer 1

b)4

Explanation:

27x+2=26x+6

-26x -26x

x+2=6

-2 -2

x=4

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

Vertically opposite angles are equal

27x + 2 = 26x + 6 {Subtract 26x from both sides}

27x -26x + 2 = 6

x + 2 = 6 {Subtract 2 form both sides}

x = 6 - 2

x = 4
