Question

Solve for x.
7x + 9
9x - 19
= X

Answer 1

x = 14

Explanation:

the angles are corresponding.

corresponding angles theorem states that when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal , the resulting corresponding angles are congruent.

therefore:

7x + 9 = 9x -19

9 = 2x - 19

28 = 2x

14 = x

Answer 2

14

Explanation:

7x+9= 9x-19

-2x= -28

x= 14

they are corresponding angles
