Answer :
When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the alternate interior angles are equal.
3x + 17 = x + 53
Subtract 'x' from each side:
2x + 17 = 53
Subtract 17 from each side:
2x = 36
Divide each side by 2 :
x = 18
3x + 17 = x + 53
Subtract 'x' from each side:
2x + 17 = 53
Subtract 17 from each side:
2x = 36
Divide each side by 2 :
x = 18
Well the sum of the alternate interior angles of a transversal cutting parallel lines should be equal to 180'.
So (3x+17)=(x+53)
3x+17=x+53
Using transposition method-
3x-x=53-17
2x=36
x=36/2
x=18
