Question

Find in the following, x. SV || RU

Answer 1

x = 22

Explanation:

Since SV and RU are parallel lines, then

∠RSV and ∠SRU are same side interior angles and are supplementary, thus

5x + 4 + 44 + x = 180, that is

6x + 48 = 180 ( subtract 48 from both sides )

6x = 132 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 22
