given ( m parallel n ), find the value of ( x ).
answer
attempt 1 out of 2
( x = )

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of adjacent angles

When two parallel lines \(m\parallel n\) are cut by a transversal, the sum of adjacent angles is \(180^{\circ}\). So, \(85^{\circ}+x^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(85^{\circ}\) from both sides of the equation \(85 + x=180\). We get \(x = 180 - 85\).

Answer:

\(x = 95\)
