Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB // DE, then angle 5 and angle 6 are alternate interior angle and they should be congruent.

5x + 16 = 3x + 50

Subtract 16 from both sides

5x = 3x + 50 - 16

5x = 3x + 34

Subtract 3x from both sides

5x - 3x = 34

2x = 34

Divide both sides by 2

x = 34/2

x = 17

Answer:

To AB \\ DEangle 5 should be equal to angle 6

3x + 50 = 5x + 16

5x - 3x = 50-16

2x = 34

x = 17
