Question

Find the value of X that makes m || n.

(2x + 5) m
135 n
a) X = 65
b) X = 50
c) X = 30
d) X = 25

Answer 1

To find the value of x that makes m parallel to n, set the slopes of m and n equal to each other. Solve the resulting equation to find the value of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x that makes m parallel to n, we need to set the slopes of m and n equal to each other. The slopes of two parallel lines are equal.

Given that m = (2x + 5) and n = 135, we can equate the slopes:

2x + 5 = 135

Solve the equation for x:

2x = 135 - 5
x = (135 - 5) / 2
x = 130 / 2
x = 65
