Question

Solve for X
20x+30
28x-10

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf x = 5}`

Explanation:

Statement:

• Corresponding angles are equal.

Solution:

20x + 30 = 28x - 10 (Corresponding angles)

• Add 10 to both sides

20x + 30 + 10 = 28x

20x + 40 = 28x

• Subtract 20x from both sides

40 = 28x - 20x

40 = 8x

• Divide both sides by 8

5 = x

OR

x = 5
