Question

Please help me solve for x

Answer 1

X = 49 , i just took test

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=49^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we are dealing with parallel lines, as there are double headed arrows on each of the lines, pointing in the same direction.

This means we can use corresponding / alternate angle laws.

We know that the angles on a straight line add up to $180^0$, so we can solve for the angle just above the $131^o$ to try and see if that will help us.

$131 + \theta = 180$ (Our angle, added to another angle we don't know yet is 180)

Solve for $\theta$

$\theta = 49$

We can now apply the corresponding angle law, (as we have an 'F' shape), to determine that:

$x=\theta = 49$
