Answer:
x = 53
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle labeled with the expression "2x - 20 " and the angle with the measure of 86 degrees are opposite interior angles.
Opposite interior angles are congruent
This means that 2x - 20 = 86
This is our equation.
We now solve for x using basic algebra
2x - 20 = 86
step 1 add 20 to each side
-20 + 20 cancels out
86 + 20 = 106
now we have 2x = 106
step 2 divide each side by 2
2x / 2 = x
106 / 2 = 53
we're left with x = 53
