  • Corresponding Angles - Angles that are congruent to each other and occur with parallel lines

Explanation:

Step 1: Identify

We see that the measures given are Corresponding Angles

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Set up equation: 8x - 7 = 9x - 28
  2. Subtract 8x on both sides: -7 = x - 28
  3. Add 28 on both sides: 21 = x
  4. Rewrite: x = 21
