Question

Find the value of x for which r || S.

A) 44
B) 10
C) Can't be determined.
D) 14

Answer 1

The answer is A because 10 and 14 don’t fit the question at all.

Answer 2

x=44

Explanation:

For the two lines to be parallel, the two angles have to add to 180 degrees

45+3x+3 =180

Combine like terms

3x+48 = 180

Subtract 48 from each side

3x+48-48=180-48

3x=132

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 132/3

x =44
