Question

Parallel lines are cut by a transversal such that the alternate interior angles have measures of 3x + 17 and x + 53 degrees.

Find the value of x.
a. 71
b. 35
c. 9
d. 18

Answer 1

Answer:

option: d

Step-by-step explanation:

interior angles are (3x+17)° and (x+53)°

Now,

3x+17 = x+53

2x = 53-17 = 36

x = 18°
