Question

Find the value of x so that line m is parallel to line l.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the angles are same side interior angles and because of that they are supplementary and add up to 180°

(3x + 14) + 28 = 180°

3x + 14 + 28 = 180

3x + 42=180

3x=180-42

3x= 138

divide by 3

x = 46

Answer 2

Answer:  A) 46

Explanation:

The angles shown are same side interior angles.

For line L to be parallel to line M, the same side interior angles must be supplementary, or they must add to 180.

28+(3x+14) = 180

28+3x+14 = 180

3x+42 = 180

3x = 180-42

3x = 138

x = 138/3

x = 46
