Math Problem Statement

Find the x

Solution

I see that you've uploaded an image. Let me analyze it to help you find the value of xx.The image shows a diagram with intersecting lines and angles labeled. There are two straight lines forming an "X" shape at the top, with two of the angles marked as 4848^\circ and xx. A horizontal line passes through the bottom, forming two more angles adjacent to the "X" shape. The two corresponding angles on the horizontal line are labeled as 4545^\circ and xx.

Analyzing the Problem:

  1. Vertical Angles: When two lines intersect, the opposite (vertical) angles are equal. Thus, the angle directly opposite to 4848^\circ is also 4848^\circ.

  2. Linear Pair: The angle xx forms a linear pair with 4848^\circ, meaning their sum is 180180^\circ: x+48=180.x + 48 = 180.

  3. Calculation: Solving for xx: x=18048=132.x = 180 - 48 = 132.

So, the value of xx is 132 degrees.
