Question

Will give BRAINLIEST to correct answer.

Given that ℓ1 ∥ ℓ2, find x.

Answer 1

X = 38

2x is equal to the angle next to the x + 66 angle because ℓ1 ∥ ℓ2 is parallel so:

2x + x + 66 = 180 -- combine like terms

3x + 66 = 180 -- subtract 66 from both sides

3x = 114 -- divide by 3 on both side

x = 38
