Question 1056551:

the problem says solve for x i will try to illustrate it sorry everything moves to the left

                      B_________________>>_________________C
                       / 127 deg                          /

               x+2 ^                                  ^2x-3
                  /                                  /

             A_/__________________________________/D

i tried to use the arrows to keep it together but it didn't work

[It would stay together and wouldn't move left if you'd type the
code tag
%22%3Cpre%3E%22
before it and the code tag
%22%3C%2Fpre%3E%22
after it.  Those two code tags won't show up on what you post.]

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length so set them
equal:

x+2 = 2x-3

Solve that and get x = 5.  Also the angle at D is also 127°.

The angles at A and C are both 180°-127° = 53°.
