Question

Find the value of x for which p || q.

Answer 1

The process is ; We can do by ; The two angles are alternate angles ( Z) . So, ( 9x+8) = ( 15x-46). OR, 9x+8=

Explanation:

15x-46 8+46=15x-9x or, 54=6x or, 54/6=× THEREFORE, x = 9

Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

For the lines to be parallel, then

9x + 8 and 15x - 46 are alternate angles and congruent, thus

15x - 46 = 9x + 8 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

6x - 46 = 8 ( add 46 to both sides )

6x = 54 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 9
