Question

Given m | n, find the value of x.
m
n
68
(6x+8)

Answer 1

As 6x+8 = 68

=> x = 10

Hope it helps

Answer 2

By question it's given that m || n . So here we can use the properties of parallel lines . One of them which we will use here is ,

• corresponding angles are equal .

Here the two given angles are corresponding angles hence they will be equal. We create them in order to find the value of x.

`\sf\implies 68^o = 6x + 8^o \\\\\\\sf\implies6x = 68^o - 8^o\\\\\sf\implies 6x = 60^o \\\\\\\sf\implies x = 60^o/6 \\\\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\red{ \sf x = 10^o }}`

Hence the value of x is 10° .
