  Geometry, Student Edition, Chapter 5.5, Problem 57SPR

Calculation:

Consider the theorem of alternate angles.

The corresponding angles are equal

Form an equation using the above statement:

  8x+4=9x−11

Solve the above equation to find the value of x .

  8x+4=9x−119x−8x=11+4x=15

Hence, the required value of the unknown is 15 .
