Question

solve for x.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify angle - relationship

Assume the angles are corresponding or alternate - interior (since lines look parallel), so they are equal. Set up the equation $59 - 2x=64 - 3x$.

Step2: Solve the equation for $x$

Add $3x$ to both sides: $59 - 2x+3x=64 - 3x+3x$, which simplifies to $59 + x=64$.
Then subtract 59 from both sides: $x=64 - 59$.

Answer:

$x = 5$
