The slope of the red line would be 5 as well as long as the lines are parallel. If it were perpendicular, or made an x, then the slope would be (1/5)<span />

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lines described are parallel, this means that they will have the same slope. If the green line has a slope of 5, then the red one will also have a slope of 5. Parallel lines are those that do not meet. These lines do not touch or intersect at any point. Moreover, these lines are always the same distance apart (<em>equidistant</em>).

One of the Same side angles of two parallel lines is 60° greater than the other. Find the two angles.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

60,120

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that angles on the same side of the transversal always add up to 180 ( are supplementary)

Hence, taking one of the angles as x we get,

x+(60+x)=180

2x+60=180

2x=120

x=60

Hence, one angle is 60 degrees while the other 120 degrees

Can someone please help me.. very quickly .. thank you

X/8 + 12 = 16
start by subtracting twelve from both sides
x/8 + 12 = 16
- 12 -12
You're left with x/8 = 4
Multiply both sides by 8
8× x/8 = 4 ×8
Your answer is x = 32
If you need to simplify, the answer is 2.
