can someone please help i dont understand

Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle 1 = 8x - 17
Angle 2 = 5x + 19
These are congruent which means they are the same so the equation is:
8x - 17 = 5x + 19
3x - 17 = 19
3x = 36
x = 12
Answer:
last option is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-17=5x+19(being corresponding angles)
8x-5x=19+17
3x=36
x=36/3
x=12
