In the figure above, if lines m and n are parallel, then x =

(A) 20
(B) 50
(C) 150
(D) 140
(E) 160

We see that we have two parallel lines, lines m and n, cut by a transversal, which we will denote as line t. We also see that we have a triangle formed by lines n and t and another line. Finally, we see that x is an exterior angle of this triangle, and the measure of angle x is the sum of the two remote interior angles of the triangle. One of these two angles is 90 degrees, since it’s supplemental to a right angle. The other remote interior angle is 70 degrees, since it’s the corresponding angle to the 70-degree angle shown. Thus, x = 90 + 70 = 160 degrees.

Answer: E
