need help with my geometry!

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

well in parallelograms, opposite angles are equal so you can set the two angle measures equal and solve

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

2x + 100 = 6x + 84?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

would i subtract 84 from 100

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes and 6x-2x and go...

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

4x = 16 then divide by 4 and get x = 4?

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

correct now sub 4 for x to find the angle we solved for then we go to the next step

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

2(4) + 100 = 6(4) + 84

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

8 + 100 = 24 + 84

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

@acxbox22

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

yes so what is 24+84?

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

108

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

since there both 108 would the answer be 108 than? @acxbox22

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

*this is the angle we need

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

108 degrees is just the opposite angles we found congruent

OpenStudy (jaybear97):

would I plug in 108 than for the x's?
