Solution

The image shows three parallel lines, rstr \parallel s \parallel t, crossed by two diagonals, creating corresponding angles. To solve for xx, we can use the properties of parallel lines and transversals.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Identify corresponding angles: Since the lines are parallel, the angles on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines are equal.

    • The angle labeled x3x - 3 is corresponding to the angle labeled xx.
    • The angle labeled x2x - 2 is corresponding to the angle labeled x4x - 4.
  2. Set up the equations based on corresponding angles:

    • x3=xx - 3 = x (equating the angles formed by the transversal crossing lines rr and ss)
    • x2=x4x - 2 = x - 4 (equating the angles formed by the transversal crossing lines ss and tt)
  3. Solve the equations:

    • From x3=xx - 3 = x, we have: x3=x    3=0x - 3 = x \implies -3 = 0 This equation is not valid, meaning something may have gone wrong here, likely due to the fact that they are not supposed to be directly equal.

    • From x2=x4x - 2 = x - 4, we solve: x2=x4    2=4x - 2 = x - 4 \implies -2 = -4 This also doesn't provide a valid solution, indicating another potential error.
