Please help, basic algebra. Find the value of x

 x = 131

Reasoning: Alternate interior angle theorem

The angles shown are inside the parallel lines, so they are interior angles. They are also considered alternate angles because they are on alternating sides of the transversal cut. Alternate interior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.

65°

step-by-step explanation:

the total measure of a triangle is 180 degrees. 62 + 53 is 115.

180 - 115 = 65

y = - 6

step-by-step explanation:

given the point (- 2, y) lies on the graph then it is a solution of it's equation.

substitute x = - 2 into the equation for value of y

y = 3(- 2) = 3 × - 2 = - 6

the point on the graph is (- 2, 6)
