Question

Anyone know how to do this??

Answer 1

• Answer:
• 180=x-5+2x+5
• 180=3x (cancel 5 with negative5)
• x=180/3
• x=60

Answer 2

x = 60

Explanation:

In order to make L parallel (||) to M, you want to prove that the angles are same-side interior angles since the Same-Side Interior Angle Theorem only works for parallel lines cut by a transversal.

In order to make the angles (marked with the expressions) same-side interior angles, they have to add up to 180 degrees because they are supplementary angles.

Make an equation where the two angles add up to (equal) 180.

• (x - 5) + (2x + 5) = 180

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.

• 3x = 180

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.

• x = 60

60 is the value of x that will make L || M.
