x =
Step1: Identify the relationship
Since lines \(JI\) and \(LK\) are parallel (they are both horizontal and cut by a transversal \(GH\)), the corresponding angles \((3x + 10)^\circ\) and \((5x - 30)^\circ\) are equal. So we set up the equation:
\(3x + 10 = 5x - 30\)
Step2: Solve for \(x\)
Subtract \(3x\) from both sides:
\(10 = 2x - 30\)
Add 30 to both sides:
\(40 = 2x\)
Divide both sides by 2:
\(x = 20\)
