Question

solve for x.

x =
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of corresponding angles

Since \(NO\parallel PQ\), \((3x + 5)^{\circ}\) and \(68^{\circ}\) are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are equal. So, \(3x+5 = 68\).

Step2: Solve the equation for \(x\)

Subtract \(5\) from both sides of the equation: \(3x=68 - 5\), which simplifies to \(3x=63\).
Then divide both sides by \(3\): \(x=\frac{63}{3}\).

Answer:

\(21\)
