Question

Given mn, find the value of x.
(6x-9)
(2X-19)

Answer 1

26

Explanation:

Given line m is parallel to line n.

• Then the angles are supplementary, so their sum is equal to 180°.

Based on the above-mentioned information, we can write the following equation to find the value of x:

6x - 9 + 2x - 19 = 180

• Add/subtract like terms.

8x - 28 = 180

• Add 28 to both sides.

8x = 208

• Divide both sides by 8.

x = 26
