X = B.......x - 17 = A

x + x - 17 = 87
2x - 17 = 87
2x = 87 + 17
2x = 104
x = 104/2
x = 52........so state B has 52 electoral votes

x - 17 = A
52 - 17 = A
35 = A.....so state A has 35 electoral votes

So it’s A

in all the other ones we can see that the angles in the same position as x and 75 are all equal

and because the question tells us that they are all structured the same with p and f being parallel we can assume x is equal to what’s congruent to it

there is a rule that states this

cap congruent angle postulate i believe

which states that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent

Answer:

I think it would be the bottom left angle, x + 20 = 20x.

Why the others are smaller:

10x (x + 10)

12x (2x + 10)

10x (x + 10)

One way to carry out this problem is to simply take the value that you already know, which is that 1/5 is 20 % and multiply it by 2 for 2/5 or 2 (1/5ths) and do this for all of them. There is a pattern that occurs for every increase in one out of denominator of 5.
