Question

Solve for x. Write your answer as.... x/angle relationship

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

We know that,

If lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are equal.

Therefore,

`\sf16x + 4 = 17x - 2`

Let us solve for x now.

Subtract 16x by both sides.

`\sf4 = 17x - 16x - 2 \\ \sf4 = x - 2 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:`

Now add 2 to both sides.

`\sf4 + 2 = x \\ \sf 6 = x`
