Answer:


x = 17

Explanation:

Since line m is parallel to line n, therefore:


(6x + 5) + (5x - 12) = 180 (consecutive interior angles are supplementary)

Solve for x


6x + 5 + 5x - 12 = 180

Add like terms


11x - 7 = 180

Add 7 to both sides


11x - 7 + 7 = 180 + 7


11x = 187

Divide both sides by 11


(11x)/(11) = (187)/(11)


x = 17
