Answer:
- 102 + (3x +2) = 180 . . . . equation to solve
- x = 25 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . . . value of x
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be helpful to draw a diagram of a parallelogram ABCD and identify the angles in the problem statement. You will find they are adjacent angles.
Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, so the sum of the given angle measures will be 180°.
102 + (3x +2) = 180 . . . equation used to solve for x
3x = 76 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 104
x = 76/3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
x = 25 1/3 . . . the value of x
