Question

note: figure not drawn to scale.
in the figure, line j is parallel to line k. what is the value of x?
a. 27
b. 47
c. 67
d. 227

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of adjacent angles

Adjacent angles on a straight line sum to \(180^{\circ}\). So, \(x + 133^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\)

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(133^{\circ}\) from both sides of the equation: \(x=180^{\circ}- 133^{\circ}\)
\(x = 47^{\circ}\)

Answer:

B. 47
