Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. I guess we assumed the two lines across the transversal are parallel
step 2. 3x + 1 = 85 (definition of alternate exterior angles)
step 3. 3x = 84 (subtract 1 from each side)
step 4. x = 28. (divide both sides by 3)
Answer:
The correct answer is B
Step-by-step explanation:
Kinda complicated to explain, if you need me to then comment and I'll do it
X+y=3
Subtract x from both sides
y=-x+3
Substitute
2x--x+3=6
2x+x+3=6
3x+3=6
Subtract 3 from both sides
3x=3
Divide both sides by 3
x=1
-35 + 28x = 21
28x = 56
x = 2
