5. Find the value of x so that lines s and t are parallel. (7x - 20)° (4x + 16)
1 answer:
The value of x so that lines s and t are parallel is 12
<h3 /><h3>How to find angles involving parallel lines?</h3>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.

The least number should always start off with negatives if there are any. In this case there is so we can start with -2 as our least amount. Next are the small fractions. If you're allowed a calculator, I would use that to find what the decimals will look like for each fraction:
After -2 the next least number is 0 and the next one is the fraction or decimal closest to the number 0 which is 0.4
The next number would be from the fractions we solved earlier. 0.5 and 0.625 would follow 0.4 and then 1.1 and 1.6667(solved for from fraction).
Here is the list:
