Question

If a is parallel to b , then x is ?

Answer 1

From the given figure

If a // to b, then

The angle of measure (3x - 1) and the angle vertically opposite angle with 95 degrees are corresponding angles

Since corresponding angles are equal and the vertically opposite angles are equal, then

`3x-1=95`

Add 1 to both sides

`\begin{gathered} 3x-1+1=95+1 \\ 3x=96 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 3 to find x

`\begin{gathered} (3x)/(3)=(96)/(3) \\ x=\mathring{32} \end{gathered}`

The value of x is 32
