Question

13

In the figure shown below, if line mis parallel to line n, then find the value of x. (This is a 2 part question.)
m
(2x-10)
(65 - x)
Part A
Write the equation to find the value of x. (DO NOT find x, just write the equation.)
(2x - 10) (65 - x)
Part B
What is the value of x?
Y

Answer 1

2x-10 = 65-x

Explanation:

just add up both alternate internal angles as they are both equal

so, the equation is: 2x-10 = 65-x

Answer 2

The right equation will be 2x - 10 = 65 - x (you were wrong lol)

Explanation:

We have: 2x - 10 = 65 - x

=> 2x - 10 + x = 65

=> 3x = 65 + 10 = 75

=> x = 75/3 = 25

P/S: After some little chats with the others, this might be wrong :(
