(SAT Prep) Find the value of x in each of the following exercises:
Answer:
The value of x is 120°
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, you need to introduce a third line that is parallel to the two parallel lines.
This line should divide the angle at x into two as shown in the attachment.
By the alternate interior angle property, m=70°
and
n=50°
This implies that, x=50+70=120°
