The value of x so that lines s and t are parallel is 12

<h3 /><h3>How to find angles involving parallel lines?</h3>

The angle are alternate exterior angles.

Therefore, alternate exterior angle theorem states that when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the exterior angles formed on either side of the transversal are equal.

Hence,

7x - 20 = 4x + 16

7x - 4x= 16 + 20

3x = 36

x = 36 / 3

x = 12

Therefore, the value of x is 12.
