Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The angles are marked as alternate interior angles. To be parallel, they must be equal. In other words x - 20  must equal 52. That's all you have to do. Just equate the 2 givens and solve.

Givens

x - 20 is one angle

52 is the other.

Solution

x - 20 = 52                   Add 20 to both sides.

x - 20 + 20 = 52 +20   Combine

x = 72
