Question

Parallel lines are cut by a transversal such that the alternate interior angles have measures of 3x + 17 and x + 53 degrees. Find the value of x.

Answer 1

Do you have the image for this?

Answer 2

If they are what I think they are drawn in this way:then 3x+17=x+53

Answer 3

yes hold on

Answer 4

Alternate interior angles, if a transversal cuts 2 parallels are equal to each other...

So, 3x + 17 = x + 53

Answer 5

Solve that for x.

Answer 6

the options are 9,18,35,71

Answer 7

See, like I said from my drawing, alternate interior angles are equivalent. So 3x+17=x+53. Solve that for x. Can you do that?

Answer 8

can you just tell me the fluttering answer
