To find an equation involving angle \( x \), we need to analyze the relationships between the angles based on the information you provided.
-
Understanding the setup:
- You have two parallel lines with a transversal intersecting them at an angle.
- The angle in the bottom left corner is labeled as \( \angle 1 \) with a measure of \( 125^\circ \).
- The angle between the transversal and the top parallel line is labeled as \( \angle 4 \) with a measure of \( (x + 35)^\circ \).
-
Using angle relationships:
- Since \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 4 \) are corresponding angles (because \( \angle 1 \) is an exterior angle and \( \angle 4 \) is an interior angle on the same side of the transversal), they are equal when the lines are parallel.
- Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ m\angle 1 = m\angle 4 \] With the given values: \[ 125^\circ = (x + 35)^\circ \]
-
Solving for \( x \):
- To find \( x \), you can subtract \( 35^\circ \) from both sides: \[ 125^\circ - 35^\circ = x \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 90^\circ \]
So the equation that will solve for \( x \) is: \[ 125^\circ = x + 35^\circ \]
In the format you provided: \[ x + 35 = 125 \]
