In the given diagram, there is a straight line that intersects two parallel lines, forming several angles. By the properties of parallel lines, we know that the alternate interior angles are equal. Thus, angle x is equal to the alternate interior angle formed by the transversal and the parallel line. We can see that angle x is adjacent to the angle of 130o, which is one of the interior angles of the triangle formed by the intersecting lines. Therefore, the sum of angle x and 130o should be equal to 180o (the sum of angles in a triangle). Thus, we have: angle x + 130o = 180o angle x = 180o - 130o angle x = 50o Therefore, the answer is (E) 100o.
