Answer:

x=12

Explanation:

L||M means L will be parallel to M.

Two lines are parallel if their corresponding angles are the same.

Corresponding angles are shown below.

As the two angles given are corresponding, L||M when x+5 = 2x-7.

x+5 = 2x-7

x = 12

Therefore, the value of x which makes L||M is 12.

Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find the required value of x.

Forming the equation,

→ x + 5 = 2x - 7

Then the value of x will be,

→ x + 5 = 2x - 7

→ x - 2x = -7 - 5

→ -x = -12

→ [ x = 12 ]

Hence, the value of x is 12.
