Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

9x - 40 = 3x + 20

9x - 3x - 40 = 3x - 3x + 20

6x - 40 = 20

6x - 40 + 40 = 20 + 40

6x = 60

6x / 6 = 60 / 6

x = 10

Now plug the x value in the equation to make the statement true that A is parallel to B.

9x - 40

9(10) - 40

90 - 40

50

3x + 20

3(10) + 20

30 + 20

50

Therefore, x = 10 making the statement true that A is parallel to B. Hope this helps and stay safe, happy, and healthy, thank you :) !!
