Question

Two parallel lines cut by a transversal. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

the value of x is 37

Answer 2

Answer: x = 37

Explanation: If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,

then alternate interior angles are congruent.

So we can say that 3x + 4 = 115.

Subtracting 4 from both sides, we have 3x = 111.

Dividing both sides by 3, we find that x = 37.

So the value of x is 37.
