Applying the alternate interior angles theorem, the value of x is: D. 8.

<h3>What is the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem?</h3>

The alternate interior angles theorem states that interior angles that are alternate to each other along a transversal have equal measurement.

∠4 and ∠6 are alternate interior angles, therefore:

m∠4 = m∠6

Substitute

4x - 2 = 2x + 14

4x - 2x = 2 + 14

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8 (option D).

Right and solve an equation to find the number n.four times a difference of a number and seven is 12

amm1812

For this case we must propose an algebraic expression associated with:

"four times a difference of a number and seven is 12"

So we have to:

Four times a difference of a number and seven is represented as: $4 (n-7)$

So we have the expression is:

$4 (n-7) = 12$

We apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:

$4n-28 = 12$

We add 28 to both sides:

$4n = 12 + 28\\4n = 40$

We divide between 4 on both sides:

$n = \frac {40} {4}\\n = 10$

Answer:

$n=10$
