Question

given ( mparallel n ), find the value of ( x ).
answer attempt 3 out of 5
( x=)

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of supplementary angles

When two parallel lines \(m\parallel n\) are cut by a transversal \(t\), the angle \(x^{\circ}\) and the \(136^{\circ}\) angle are supplementary. That is \(x + 136=180\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(136\) from both sides of the equation \(x + 136=180\). So \(x=180 - 136\).

Answer:

\(x = 44\)
