Question

Solve for x The value of x that would make q || r is

Answer 1

x = 12

Explanation:

If line r and line a are parallel, therefore:

(11x - 28) + (7x - 8) = 180° (consecutive interior angles are supplementary)

Solve for x

11x - 28 + 7x - 8 = 180

Add like terms

18x - 36 = 180

18x = 180 + 36 (addition property of equality)

18x = 216

x = 216/18 (division property of equality)

x = 12
