Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that line a and b and perpendicular to line x. By definition of perpendicular lines, lines a and b form right angles at the intersection of a and x and b and x. By definition, a right angle is equal to 90 degrees, and the sum of angle 2 and 3 is equal 180 degrees, so by the Converse of Same-Side Interior Angle Theorem, line a is parallel to line b.

Note: I don't have a drawing, but we can assume that angles 2 and 3 are same-side interior.
