Question

question given m||n, find the value of x. answer attempt 1 out of 5 x = submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Use property of parallel lines

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding - angles are equal. So, we set the two given angle - expressions equal to each other: $6x + 9=5x + 17$.

Step2: Solve the equation for x

Subtract $5x$ from both sides of the equation: $(6x + 9)-5x=(5x + 17)-5x$. This simplifies to $x+9 = 17$.

Step3: Isolate x

Subtract 9 from both sides: $x+9 - 9=17 - 9$.

Answer:

$x = 8$
