Question

5. Find the value of x so that lines s and t are parallel. (7x - 20)° (4x + 16)

Answer 1

The value of x so that lines s and t are parallel is 12

How to find angles involving parallel lines?

The angle are alternate exterior angles.

Therefore, alternate exterior angle theorem states that when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the exterior angles formed on either side of the transversal are equal.

Hence,

7x - 20 = 4x + 16

7x - 4x= 16 + 20

3x = 36

x = 36 / 3

x = 12

Therefore, the value of x is 12.
