help

anonymous · Answer

are those lines parallel to each other?

anonymous · Answer

ya I guess...

anonymous · Answer

ok, in that case, there is a trick in geometry when a line is cutting two parallel lines like you have in your drawing.  look at the following |dw:1370537050683:dw|

anonymous · Answer

in this case 
a=d;
e=h;
f=g;
c=b

anonymous · Answer

also
a=e
b=f
c=g
d=h

anonymous · Answer

yes, I know tht but in this case I don think its true since the equations are different and bec of the previous angle questionss

anonymous · Answer

I am not sure i understand your question then, are you being asked to solve for x?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

so, since you know these two angles are equal to each other you can do
-1+14x=12x+17
and solve for x

anonymous · Answer

then to check and get the actual measurements of the angles plug back your x

anonymous · Answer

oh wooowww...I cant believe I 4got tht, lol. thnk u so muchhh

anonymous · Answer

your are welcome, let me know what you get for x, that way i can check my ans too ;)
