The value of x is 1.

* Let's explain how to solve the problem

- Line PU has points R and S between points P and U

- Line QR intersects line PU at point R

- Line ST intersects line PU at point S

- Lines QR and ST are parallel

- Look to the attached figure

∵ QR // ST

∴ m∠TSU = m∠QRU ⇒ corresponding angles

∵ m∠TSU = 15(x + 2)°

∴ m∠QRU = 15(x + 2)

∵ Points P, R, S lie on the same line

∵ RQ intersects PS at R

∵ m∠PRQ + m∠QRU = 180° ⇒ straight angle

∵ m∠PRQ = 135°

∵ m∠QRU = 15(x + 2)°

∴ 135 + 15(x + 2) = 180

∴ 135 + 15x + 30 = 180

- Add like terms

∴ 15x + 165 = 180

- Subtract 165 from both sides

∴ 15x = 15

- Divide both sides by 15

∴ x = 1

∴ The value of x is 1

In geometry, parallel lines are coplanar instantly traces that do not intersect at any factor. Parallel planes are planes in identical three-dimensional space that in no way meet. Parallel curves are curves that do not touch every different or intersect and hold a set minimal distance

In mathematics, the intersection of or more gadgets is any other item that includes the whole thing that is contained in all the items simultaneously.

nydimaria [60]

Replace x with y and solve for y~

y=2*

x=2^y

log x = y log 2

y=log x / log 2

Hope this helps and leave a brainliest to help me reach expert ;)
