To solve this problem, we have to understand that the parallel lines cut will form two alternate angles which are equal to each other. The value of x is equal to -8/5
In the given question, we have two alternate angles fixed at opposite end to each other.
Data;
Since we've established that alternate angles are equal to each other, we can proceed to equate the two angles and solve for x
[tex]8x -1 = 3x - 9\\8x - 3x = - 9 + 1\\5x = - 8\\x =-\frac{-8}{5}[/tex]
The value of x is equal to -8/5
