Question

Given: l || m; <1 = 20x + 5; <2 = 24x - 1

A. Find the value of x.
B. Demonstrate theorems about lines and angles through calculations.

Answer 1

<1 + <2 = 180 because opposite interior angle of a transversal are supplementary.
20x + 5 + 24x - 1 = 180
44x + 4 = 180
44x = 176
x = 176/44 = 4
