The image shows two parallel lines cut by a transversal, creating various angles labeled 1 through 8. Additionally, some angle relationships are given in terms of expressions, such as "5x + 35°" and numerical values like 45°. 

To analyze this, let's apply some key properties of parallel lines and transversals:

### Important angle relationships:
1. **Corresponding Angles**: Angles on the same side of the transversal and in corresponding positions are equal. For example:
   - ∠1 ≅ ∠5
   - ∠2 ≅ ∠6
   - ∠3 ≅ ∠7
   - ∠4 ≅ ∠8

2. **Alternate Interior Angles**: These angles are inside the parallel lines but on opposite sides of the transversal, and they are equal:
   - ∠3 ≅ ∠5
   - ∠4 ≅ ∠6

3. **Alternate Exterior Angles**: These are outside the parallel lines but on opposite sides of the transversal:
   - ∠1 ≅ ∠7
   - ∠2 ≅ ∠8

4. **Same-Side Interior Angles**: These angles add up to 180° (supplementary):
   - ∠3 + ∠6 = 180°
   - ∠4 + ∠5 = 180°

### To solve for the unknown angle expression (5x + 35°):
- ∠5 and ∠8 are alternate interior angles, so they are equal. Therefore:
  \[
  5x + 35° = 45°
  \]
- Now, solve for \( x \).

\[
5x = 45° - 35°
\]
\[
5x = 10°
\]
\[
x = 2°
\]

Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( 2° \).

Let me know if you'd like further details on this or have any other questions. Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

1. What are the relationships between corresponding angles when two lines are parallel?
2. How do you prove that two angles are alternate interior angles?
3. How do same-side interior angles behave in relation to parallel lines?
4. Can you find the values of the other angles in the diagram?
5. What is the significance of the transversal in geometry?

**Tip**: Always remember, if two lines are parallel, alternate interior and corresponding angles are equal!

Use the following diagram of parallel lines cut by a transversal to answer the problem involving the expression 5x + 35° and the angle 45°.
