The image below shows two parallel lines cut by a transversal. What is the value of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PLease

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a transversal rule is |dw:1340430217290:dw| they are all equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These are corresponding angles therefore, you can set them equal because they're congruent. x + 5 = 75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup. Corresponding angles are equal!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

75 degrees? or 70 degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 70º

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x + 5 = 75 x = 75 - 5

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

x= 70, but both angles are 75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so it must be the grading score is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70 degrees is my answer and it saying that its wrong..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Based on the question, that should be the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well... actually x wouldn't have a unit. That's the only minor thing that I can think of making your answer wrong. If you had these two choices: 70 degrees 70 the second one would be a more correct answer.

thank u...
