Since ABCD is a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent. Therefore,
m∠ABC = m∠BCD.
Setting them equal to each other,
5x + 40 = ax.
We can solve for a by isolating it:
ax = 5x + 40.
Divide both sides by x to solve for a:
a = 5 + 40/x.
Since we do not have any other information given in the problem, we cannot determine a specific value for a.
