Remember opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent(equal)
.
and,,,if parallel lines cut by transversal,,same side interior angles are supplementary,,,,,,or consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplemental
.
a),,,3x-20 = 2(x+5) =2x+10
x=30
.
Angles are 70 degrees
.
check,,,3(30)-20=70=2(30+5),,,,,ok
,
b),,,4(x+5) + 2(3x+20) =180
4x +20 +6x +40 =180
10x = 120
x=12
.
Angles are,,68,,,112
.
4(12+5)=68,,,,2(3*12+20)=112,,,68+112=180,,,,ok
.
c),,,2(x+12) + 2(5x+6) = 180
.
2x +24 +10x +12 = 180
.
12x = 180-36=144
.
x=12.
.
angles are,,48,,,,132
.
check ,,,48 +132 =180,,,ok
