Answer:

x = 9°

Explanation:

105° must be equal to 10x + 15 ° for lines to be parallel.

> 105° = 10x + 15°

> 10x = 90°

> x = 9°

Answer:x = 9

Explanation:

The attached photo is that of the given diagram. b represents the angle adjacent 75 degrees.

If line m is parallel to line n, it means that angle b degrees and angle (10x + 15) are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are equal.

Therefore,

b = 10x + 15

The sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees. It means that

b + 75 = 180

b = 180 - 75 = 105

Therefore

10x + 15 = 105

10x = 105 - 15 = 90

x = 90/10 = 9
