Find the value of x for which eh vertical linevertical line b .

  1. A transversal intersects two horizontal lines, a above b. Left of the transversal, the angle above a is (x + 66) degrees and angle above b is (2x minus 8) degrees.
  2. A transversal intersects two lines, a above b, forming two X-shaped intersections. Above the transversal, the angle below a is 88 degrees and angle above b is 4x degrees.
  3. What is the value of x?

    Quadrilateral ABCD has right angles at A and D, with angle B measuring (2x + 2) degrees and angle C measuring 108 degrees.

Do you UNDERSTAND?
