4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)
36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60
72 - 4.5x = 42 - 7.5x
-4.5x + 7.5x = 42 - 72
3x = - 30
x = -30/3
x = -10 <===
Hope this helps!

Answer:
1. Statement: <2 and <5 are supplementary. Reason: Given
2. Reason: Vertical
3. Reason: Consecutive interior angles
4. Statement L is parallel to m. Reason: transversal makes equal angles
Have a good day!
y = -0.60x - 4
because the slope stays the same because it is parallel and the y intercept for the new equation ends up being -4
