Math Problem Statement
Find the value of x using the angles in the parallelogram, where one angle is (x + 35)° and the adjacent angle is (2x - 15)°.
Solution
This is a parallelogram, as indicated by the pairs of opposite sides being marked parallel.
In a parallelogram:
- Opposite angles are equal.
- Adjacent angles are supplementary (sum up to 180°).
Let's solve for :
