What is x for both equations?

1. 130 degrees.

2. 98 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We draw a parallel line  to the other parallel lines through the point at angle x.

Then x is the sum of 2 angles.

The top angle = 50 degrees ( alternate angle to  the angle vertical to 50 degrees))

The bottom one = 180 - 100 = 80 degrees ( same side interior angles).

x = 50+ 80 = 130 degrees.

2. If we draw another parallel line as above s is again split up , and

The top angle = 62 degrees (alternate angles)

The bottom angles = 180 - 144 = 36 degrees (same side interior angles).

x =  62 + 36 = 98 degrees.
