Question

what is the value of x? (there is a diagram of two intersecting lines with angles labeled (5x - 17)° and 48°)

Explanation:

Step1: Set angles equal (corresponding)

$5x - 17 = 48$

Step2: Isolate term with $x$

$5x = 48 + 17$
$5x = 65$

Step3: Solve for $x$

$x = \frac{65}{5}$

Answer:

$13$
