Answer:
x = 11°
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallel lines suggest we look to the relationships involving angles and transversals. The angle marked 33° and ∠CAB are alternate interior angles, hence congruent:
∠CAB = 33°
5x is the measure of the external angle opposite that internal angle and angle 2x of ΔABC, so it is equal to their sum:
5x = 2x + 33°
3x = 33° . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x
x = 11° . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
(-2 x -3) - (3x^2 - 8x + 9)
-6 - 9x - 17x
-6 - -8x
-14x
