The first graph is what i would think
Given: lines l and m are parallel, and line t is a transversal.
angle pair result/justification
1 and 2 are equal (vertical angles)
6 and 8 are equal (corresponding angles)
1 and 4 are equal (alternate exterior angles)
4 and 8 are supplementary angles (i.e. add up to 180 degrees, a straight angle)
Note:
alternate angles are on opposite sides of the transversal, and each attached to a different (parallel) line.
If they are both enclosed by the parallel lines, they are alternate interior angles (examples: angles 2 and 3, 6 and 7)
If they are both outside of the two parallel lines, they are alternate exterior angles (examples: angles 1 and 4, 5 and 8)
I believe the answer should be x equals 37
Option D should be your answer.
No combo of any of those angles add up to exactly 180 to suggest that they are parallel lines.
