Question

Given m
0
n, find the value of x.
m
168
(6x+8)

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

This is a parallel line cut by a transversal.

The two angles are corresponding angles. Therefore, they are equal to each other.

6x+8 = 68 >> subtract 8 from both sides

6x = 60 >> divide both sides by 6 to get x alone

x = 10

you can check by substituting 10 as x and see if 6x+8 is equal to 68 which it is
