Lines aa and bb are intersected by a transversal at points PP and QQ. On one side of the transversal, the interior angle at PP measures (3x+15)∘(3x + 15)^{\circ} and the interior angle at QQ measures (5x−35)∘(5x - 35)^{\circ}. a. (i) Find the value of xx if the two interior angles are supplementary. b. (ii) Calculate the measure of each interior angle. c. (iii) Using your calculation, decide whether lines aa and bb are parallel. Give a reason for your answer.
