Answer:

x = 75

Explanation:

Corresponding angles on the same side of the transversal are equal

10x + 5 = 12x - 9 Add 9 to both sides

10x + 5 + 9 = 12x Combine

10x + 14 = 12x Subtract 10x from both sides

14 = 12x - 10x Combine

14 = 2x Divide by 2

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

==================

10x + 5 = 10*7 + 5

10x + 5 = 75

12x - 9 = 12*7 - 9

12x - 9 = 84 - 9

12x - 9 = 75
