Question

Find the value of x for the following

Answer 1

-5 as they need to equal the same

Answer 2

x = -5

Explanation:

Since both horizontal lines are parallel, the marked angles are corresponding angles and are congruent. This, we can set them equal to each other:

47 = 10x + 97

Next, isolate “x” to find the value of “x”:

47 - 97 = 10x

-50 = 10x

-5 = x
