Question

what is the value of x?
x = 85
(there is a diagram with intersecting lines and angles marked 85° and x°)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the angle relationship

The two 85° angles and the angle \( x \) are related by the properties of parallel lines (the two upward arrows suggest parallel lines) and transversals. The angle \( x \) and the 85° angle are corresponding angles or alternate interior angles, which are equal when lines are parallel.

Step2: Determine the value of \( x \)

Since the angles are equal (due to the parallel lines and transversal), \( x = 85 \).

Answer:

85
