Question

If EFGH is a parallelogram, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

To be a parallogram the 2 angles shown need to equal 180 degrees
 
so we have: 34 + (4x-2) = 180

 now we can solve for x

34 + 4x -2 = 180

simplify the left side by subtracting 2 from 34

32+4x =180

subtract 32 from each side:

4x = 148

divide both sides by 4 to get x

x = 148 / 4 

x = 37 

The answer is B
