Question

Find the value of x that makes m ∥ n

Answer 1

26

Explanation:

When two lines are parallel, corresponding angles are equal.

Here,

m II n

5x + 13 and 143 are corresponding angles.

So,

5x + 13 = 143

Substract 13 on both sides,

5x = 143 - 13

5x = 130

Divide 5 on both sides,

x = 130 / 5

x = 26
