There is a theorem that says if parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then same-side interior angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

If lines p and r were parallel, then angles 28 and (3x + 2) would add up to 180 degrees.

(28) + (3x + 2) = 180
3x + 30 = 180
3x = 150
x = 50

Solve problems 3, 7, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21

7nadin3 [17]

3. | -9 | = 9

7. - | -5 * -7 | = - | 35 | = -35

15. | m + 3 | = 7

m + 3 = 7 -(m + 3) = 7
m = 7 - 3 -m - 3 = 7
m = 4 -m = 10
m = -10

so m = 4 and m = -10

17. | -3d | = 15

-3d = 15 -(-3d) = 15
   d = 15/-3 3d = 15
d = - 5 d = 15/3
d = 5

so d = 5 and d = -5

19. | 4b - 5 | = 19

4b - 5 = 19 -(4b - 5) = 19
4b = 19 + 5 -4b + 5 = 19
4b = 24 -4b = 14
b = 24/4 b = 14/-4
b = 6 b = - 7/2

so b = 6 or b = -7/2

20. | x - 1 | + 5 = 2
| x - 1 | = 2 - 5
| x - 1 | = -3
There is no solution on this one because an absolute value cannot equal a negative number

21. -4 | 8 - 5n | = 13
| 8 - 5n | = - 13/4
There is also no solution for this one because of the same reason...absolute values cannot equal negative numbers
