Question

solve for x.

x =

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of alternate exterior angles

Since \( MN\parallel OP\), the alternate exterior angles are equal. So \(2x + 41=51\).

Step2: Solve the equation for \(x\)

Subtract \(41\) from both sides of the equation \(2x+41 = 51\):
\(2x=51 - 41\)
\(2x = 10\)
Divide both sides by \(2\): \(x=\frac{10}{2}\)

Answer:

\(5\)
