Well. you subtract the difference which gives you 243
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
100 is the exterior angle.
( 2x + 3 ) and 51 are interior angles.
Formula : -
Exterior angles = Sum of two interior angles.
100 = 2x + 3 + 51
100 = 2x + 54
2x = 100 - 54
2x = 46
x = 46 / 2
x = 23
The issue with using the side-splitter to solve for x is that the side-splitter theorem is used to find lengths of the sides being split by parallel lines. In this case, the x is on a line that is parallel and thus could not be solved for using this theorem.
If we created a triangle where the tops of the non-parallel lines connected, we would be able to compare the following and solve:

However, none of this would help us solve for x using this theorem.
