Question

Just a quick math problem that I forgot how to do.

Answer 1

x = 16

Explanation:

For the 2 lines to be parallel, then

12x - 50 and 8x + 14 would be corresponding angles and congruent , so

12x - 50 = 8x + 14 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

4x - 50 = 14 ( add 50 to both sides )

4x = 64 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 16

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

If they are parallel then the 2 angles are congruent, so

8x + 14 = 12x - 50

64 = 4x

16 = x
