Question

Find the value of \mathrm{x}xin the following figure.

Answer 1

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)
