Question

Find the value of x for which m || n.
The value of x for which m | n is
n

Answer 1

x=40

Explanation:

The angles of both expressions (4x-28) and (3x+12) are congruent (alternating exterior angles). So, you can set up the equation 4x-28 = 3x+12 because both expressions are equivalent, so it makes sense. Then solve for x.

4x - 28 = 3x + 12

x - 28 = 12

x = 40
