Question

Solve for the value of x that would make line a parallel to line t?

Answer 1

The value of
`x`:

`x = 44`

Explanation:

Find the value of
`x`:

`2(x + 10) = 3(x-8)`

Use Distributive Property:

`2(x + 10) = 3(x-8)`

`2x +20 = 3x - 24`

-Subtract both sides by
`3x` and combine both
`2x` and
`-3x` together:

`2x +20 - 3x = 3x - 3x - 24`

`-x + 20 = -24`

-Subtract both sides by
`20`:

`-x + 20 - 20 = - 24 - 20`

`-x = -44`

Divide both sides by
`-1`:

`(-x)/(-1) = (-44)/(-1)`

`x = 44`

So, the final answer would be
`x = 44`.
