a. x = 2
b. x = 6
c. x = 8
d. x = 10

Sagot :

Answer:  B.  x = 6

==========================================================

Explanation:

Since the vertical lines are parallel, this means the alternate exterior angles shown are congruent.

Set them equal to each other and solve for x.

15(x+2) = 120

15x+30 = 120

15x = 120-30

15x = 90

x = 90/15

x = 6

Or we could have the steps like this

15(x+2) = 120

x+2 = 120/15

x+2 = 8

x = 8-2

x = 6
