Corresponding angles are Same

  • 7x-4=5x+10
  • 7x-5x=10+4
  • 2x=14
  • x=14/2

Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

Since the lines are parallel, we know that the two angles are equal. So you can write (7x - 4) = (5x + 10). Then you just solve for x.

7x - 4 = 5x + 10

add 4 from both sides to get

7x = 5x + 14

subtract 5x from both sides to get

2x = 14

divide both sides by 2 to get

x = 7
