Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains a problem that asks to find the value of for which lines . Two angles are given:
Since the lines , these angles are corresponding angles and must be equal because corresponding angles are congruent when two lines are parallel. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
Solving the equation:
-
Subtract from both sides:
-
Add 28 to both sides:
Thus, the value of is 39.
