answer
attempt 1 out of 2

x =

Explanation:

Step1: Identify parallel lines and transversal

Since \( j \parallel p \), the corresponding angles are equal. The angle \( 4x + 6^\circ \) and \( 5x - 33^\circ \) are corresponding angles (because \( j \parallel p \) and the horizontal line is a transversal). So we set them equal:
\( 4x + 6 = 5x - 33 \)

Step2: Solve for x

Subtract \( 4x \) from both sides:
\( 6 = x - 33 \)

Add 33 to both sides:
\( x = 6 + 33 \)
\( x = 39 \)

Answer:

\( 39 \)
