Given two parallel lines and a transversal

So, the angles (2x + 33) and ( 5x - 15 ) are congruent because they are corresponding angles

So, 5x - 15 = 2x + 33

Solve to find x

[tex]5x-15=2x+33[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x-2x=33+15 \\ 3x=48 \\ x=\frac{48}{3}=16 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the required angle = 2x + 33 = 2 * 16 + 33 = 32 + 33 = 65

So, the angle is 65
