Question

If someone can answer this and explain it, I would really appreciate it, thanks.

Answer 1

Both are congruent meaning they have to equal each other. answer: 13=x

Explanation:

8x+2=14x-76

-8x -8x

2=6x-76

+76 +76

78=6x

78/6=6x/6

13=x

You would put it back into one of the equations to fin dthe actual angle.

8(13)+2

106

Answer 2

x = 13

Explanation:

Now since the lines are parrarel, the intersection points are alternate to each other. Therefore, A = B.

Solve:

8x + 2 = 14x - 76

2 + 76 = 6x

78 = 6x

x = 13
