Transversal Problems and Equations Challenge

Mr. Estrada explains how to solve transversal problems using equations. The video covers three examples: corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and supplementary angles. Each example involves setting up equations based on the relationships between angles and solving for x. The video concludes with guidelines for solving similar problems, emphasizing the importance of identifying angle relationships.
