Question

Question: Find the value of x for which “m” is parallel to “n” Can you help me solve this please? (Grade 10, angles)

Answer 1

Let's say 4x-29 = angle 1 and 3x+12 = angle 2; since m and n are parallel, then angle 1 and 2 are corresponding angles, therefore they are the same. for instance we can form the following equation:

`4x-29=3x+12`

Now, let's solve for x

`\begin{gathered} 4x-3x=12+29 \\ x=41 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the value of x is 41
