Question

Find the value of x in the following

Answer 1

x = -16

Explanation:

We know that, corresponding angles in parallel lines are equal.

Accordingly,

8x + 260 = 132

Subtract 260 from each side.

8x = 132 - 260

8x = -128

Divide both sides by 8.

x = -16

Answer 2

x = -16

Explanation:

The angles are corresponding angles and when the lines are parallel, corresponding angles are equal.

8x+260 = 132

Subtract 260 from each side.

8x+260-260 = 132-260

8x = -128

Divide each side by 8.

8x/8= -128/8

x = -16
