You see how these 2 angles marked are both inside the 2 parallel lines?
And they are on opposite side of the transversal, the line crossing the 2 parallel lines?
These 2 angles are alternate interior angles and they are equal, I think you can do the last part by yourself.
Solve for x:x/5 - 2 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/5 - 2 over the common denominator 5: x/5 - 2 = x/5 - (10)/5:x/5 - (10)/5 = x/2 + 3
x/5 - (10)/5 = (x - 10)/5:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/2 + 3 over the common denominator 2: x/2 + 3 = x/2 + 6/2:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 6/2
x/2 + 6/2 = (x + 6)/2:(x - 10)/5 = (x + 6)/2
Multiply both sides by 10:(10 (x - 10))/5 = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/5 = (5×2)/5 = 2:2 (x - 10) = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/2 = (2×5)/2 = 5:2 (x - 10) = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 x + 30
Subtract 5 x from both sides:(2 x - 5 x) - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
2 x - 5 x = -3 x:-3 x - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
5 x - 5 x = 0:-3 x - 20 = 30
Add 20 to both sides:(20 - 20) - 3 x = 20 + 30
20 - 20 = 0:-3 x = 30 + 20
30 + 20 = 50:-3 x = 50
Divide both sides of -3 x = 50 by -3:(-3 x)/(-3) = 50/(-3)
(-3)/(-3) = 1:x = 50/(-3)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 50/(-3) by -1:Answer: x = (-50)/3

Answer:
104.8 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 ways to solve this problem.
The 1st way:
Let's make 2 triangles and 1 rectangle:
Rectangle Length = 8.3
Rectangle Width = 8
So, the left out length will be 17.9 - 8.3
=> 9.6
Since, 9.6 cm is for 2 parts.
=> 9.6 / 2
=> 4.8
So, Height of the Triangle = 8
Base of the triangle = 4.8
Area of a rectangle
=> 8.3 x 8
=> 66.4
Area of the triangle
=> 1/2 x 8 x 4.8
=> 4 x 4.8
=> 19.2
There are 2 triangles:
=> 19.2 x 2
=> 38.4
=> 66.4 + 38.4
=> 104.8
The area of the trapezoid = 104.8 in^2.
The 2nd way is:
Area of a trapezoid
=> Smaller Base + Larger Base / 2 x Height
=> 8.3 + 17.9 / 2 x 8
=> 26.2 / 2 x 8
=> 13.1 x 8
=> 104.8
The area of the trapezoid is 104.8 in^2
