Question

If lines a || b solve for x 6(x-36)

Answer 1

x=20

Explanation:

Angles in a straight line add up to 180°

180°-96°=84°

Corresponding angles are equal

6x-36=84

6x=120

x=20

Answer 2

x =22

Explanation:

The angles are alternate exterior angles, and when the lines are parallel, alternate exterior angles are equal.

6x-36 = 96

Add 36 to each side

6x-36+36 = 96+36

6x= 132

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 132/6

x =22
