Answer:
A x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Lines AB and CD being perpendicular means the angles where they meet are all 90°. The diagonal line divides two of those 90° angles into two parts (each). The whole (90°) is the sum of the parts into which the angle has been divided.
The sum of angles 3 and 4 is 90°. Once you understand this relationship, you can write an equation based on the relationship. The equation can be solved in the usual way.
(4x +4)° +26° = 90°
4x = 60 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 30
x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
