Question 497223: I have two parallel lines with a transversal running through it. At the top (the lines are horizontal and the transversal is vertical) i have to find the measure of an angle coming of the top parallel line. The information i have to find it is that it equals 4x-30. How should i do this??

We need more information, such as other angles on the diagram.
Usually in these problems, they give you some form of a corresponding angle.
Please send more information and we will try to solve the problem.
Thank You,

Either you didn't give all of the information that is on the diagram, or this problem cannot be solved.

However, you can use these facts:

Vertical angles are equal. Opposite exterior and opposite interior angles are equal. The sum of supplementary angles is 180.
