1. **State the problem:** We are given two angles formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines. The angles are \((100 - 2x)^\circ\) and \((10x)^\circ\). We need to solve for \(x\). 2. **Identify the relationship:** Since lines \(GH\) and \(IJ\) are parallel and \(EKF\) is a transversal, the angles \((100 - 2x)^\circ\) and \((10x)^\circ\) are corresponding angles and therefore equal. 3. **Set up the equation:** $$100 - 2x = 10x$$ 4. **Solve for \(x\):** \begin{align*} 100 - 2x &= 10x \\ 100 &= 10x + 2x \\ 100 &= 12x \\ x &= \frac{100}{12} = \frac{25}{3} \approx 8.33 \end{align*} 5. **Conclusion:** The value of \(x\) is \(\frac{25}{3}\) or approximately 8.33 degrees.
