Question

Parallel lines e and f are cut by transversal b what is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer: 25

Explanation:

Both lines are being cut by the same transversal so to solve for x, make both equations equal to each other

2x+10 = 3x-15

To isolate x, do the inverse operations (for any side chosen)

Do the inverse operations to move -15 and isolate 3x

Add 15 to 10 (10+15=25)

You now have 2x+25=3x

Now, do the same to combine the x values together

25=3x-2x

You now have 25=1x

Divide by 1 on both sides

25=x

Answer 2

25

Explanation:

Both lines are being cut by the same transversal so to solve for x, we have to make both equations equal to each other( 2x+10 = 3x-15) isolate x or 3x ( the inverse operations ). Add 15 to 10 (10+15=25) which turns into 2x+25=3x. Combine the x values (25=3x-2x) which results in 25=1x. Divide both sides to complete the problem, which would give you x=25
