1. what are the angles called?
2. what is the correct equation set up?

(select all that apply.)
alternate interior
alternate exterior

consecutive
6x - 3+4x + 13 = 180
6x - 3 = 4x + 13

Explanation:

• Alternate Exterior Angles: Alternate exterior angles are formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines. They lie outside the two parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. In this case, the angles \((6x - 3)^{\circ}\) and \((4x + 13)^{\circ}\) fit this definition.
• Equation \(6x-3 = 4x + 13\): Alternate exterior angles are congruent (equal in measure) when the lines are parallel. So, we set the two angle expressions equal to each other.

Answer:

1. Alternate Exterior
2. \(6x-3 = 4x + 13\)
