given ( m parallel n ), find the value of ( x ).
answer
attempt 1 out of 2
( x = )

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of parallel lines and transversal

When two parallel lines \(m\parallel n\) are cut by a transversal, the sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal is \(180^{\circ}\). So \(x + 116=180\).

Step2: Solve the equation for \(x\)

Subtract \(116\) from both sides of the equation \(x + 116=180\). We get \(x=180 - 116\).

Answer:

\(x = 64\)
