Answer:

x=12

Explanation:

Lines A and B are parallel, with a transversal passing through them.

The properties of two parallel lines and a transversal tells us that angles 5x and 4x+12 must be equal, because they are a pair of alternate exterior angles.

To solve for x, we do 5x=4x+12

Subtract 4x on both sides

x=12
