Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

The answer is x=18 hope this helps

Answer 2

x = 18

These two angles are formed by a transversal that cuts through 2 parallel lines. This means that (5x + 2) on line m corresponds to the angle on the right of (5x-2) on line n.

Now that we can see (5x + 2) and (5x - 2) are on a straight line, we can say that (5x + 2) + (5x - 2) = 180

10x + 0 = 180

10x = 180

x = 180/10

x = 18
