Lines m and n are parallel

Line t intersect them

Then the two angles (4x - 9) and (3x + 29) are in the corresponding position, so they are equal in measures

4x - 9 = 3x + 29

Let us solve the equation to find x

Subtract 3x from both sides to move 3x from the right side to the left side

4x - 3x - 9 = 3x - 3x + 29

x - 9 = 29

Add 9 to both sides to move -9 from the left side to the right side

x - 9 + 9 = 29 + 9

x = 38

The value of x is 38
