Question

Find the value of x for which the lines r and s are parallel. answers: 13 47 48 12

Answer 1

x=12

Explanation:

142 and 3x+2 are supplementary angles when the lines are parallel

142+ 3x+2 = 180

Combine like terms

144+3x= 180

Subtract 144 from each side

144+3x-144=180-144

3x=36

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 36/3

x =12
