This lesson teaches how to solve for x using two parallel lines and a transversal. By knowing that parallel lines have corresponding and alternate interior angles, one can use these angles to solve for x. The teacher explains that a transversal is a line that intersects parallel lines, which allows for the use of these angle relationships. By using either corresponding angles or alternate interior angles, one can solve for x and find the value of the unknown angle.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
