Answer:
The value of x that makes m || n is x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a line that is intersected by another two lines (for example line ''m'' and line ''n'' like in the exercise) one of the conditions that makes m || n is that the alternate interior angles must be congruent. Understanding that congruent means the same.
In the exercise, one pair of alternate interior angles are (2x+20)° and 3x°.
We need this two angles to be congruent ⇒
Solving this for ''x'' :
The value of x that makes 3x° congruent to 2x+20° (that makes the alternate interior angles congruents) is x = 20

Answer:
B. 6 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the more flour Nicholas needed for making the cake and cookies is shown below:
= 11.75 - 5.50
