Sagot :

Answer:

x = 48 (in degrees, I assume)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the two horizontal lines have those extra arrowheads on them? The red ones? That notation means those lines are parallel to each other.

In geometry, we learn that when two parallel lines are crossed by a third line (called a 'transversal'), alternate interior angles are congruent.

The two angles with labeled quantities are alternate exterior angles. They are 'alternate' because they are on opposite sides of the transversal line, and 'exterior' because they are above and below the the two horizontal lines, not contained in the interior area between them.

Therefore,       2x + 2 = x + 50

                         -x - 2 = -x -  2

                          x       =    48
