Find the value of x. Give reasons to justify your solution. C ∈ AE

x = 11º

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Notice Parallel Lines

2. Understand Angle Relationships When Parallel Lines Are Present (e.g., alternate interior/exterior)

3. ∠CAB ≅ ∠DCA ∴ m∠CAB = 33º

4. Use exterior angle theorem: the sum of non-adjacent angles of the same triangle which the exterior angle is drawn is equal to the measure of that angle.

5. Therefore write and solve the equation 2x + 33º (sum of non-adjacent interior angles) = 5x (exterior angle).

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
