Answer:
x = 16.
Explanation:
Given : Transverse line b and parallel line e and f.
To find : What is the value of x.
Solution : We have given Transverse line b and parallel line e and f.
Corresponding angles : When two lines are crossed by another line the angles in matching corners are called corresponding angles.
corresponding angles are always equal.
2x + 18 = 4x - 14.
On subtracting both sides by 4x
2x -4x + 18 = -14.
- 2x + 18 = - 14 .
On subtracting both sides by 18
- 2x = - 14 -18 .
- 2x = - 32 .
On dividing both sides by -2 .
x = 16.
Therefore, x = 16.
