Question

Given: m || n



What is the value of x?

x = a0

Answer 1

x=8

Explanation:

The value of the angles are the same due to them being alternate interior angles and opposite angles. This means we can set 6x-2=46. Add 2 to each side to isolate the 6x. This leaves you with 6x=48. Divide by 6 to isolate x. 48/6= 8. X=8. Hope this helps :).

Answer 2

x = 8

Explanation:

Since m and n are parallel lines, then

6x - 2 = 46 ← alternate angles

Add 2 to both sides

6x = 48 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 8
