Question

Parallel lines e and f are cut by transversal b. What is the value of x? A.130 B.16 C.164 D.50

Answer 1

A) 130

Explanation:

(2x + 18) + y = 180 <--- Is True

(4x - 14) + y = 180 <--- Is True

(2x + 18) + y = y + (4x - 14)

(2x + 18) = (4x - 14)

2x + 18 = 4x - 14

-2x + 18 = -14

- 18 - 18

-2x = -32

x = 16

2(16) + 18 = 50

4(16) - 14 = 50

180 - 50 = 130
