Answer:
x = 17°
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Angles And Parallel Lines
</u>
If two parallel lines are crossed by a third line, corresponding angles are congruent. Also, consecutive angles are supplementary
We can clearly see in the image provided, being w and b parallel, that the corresponding angles (4x-3) and 65° are congruent. We can express that relation as

Operating

So the value of the angle x is 17°
-4+x=9.5
x=13.5
The student might have subtracted 9.5-4, which results in the answer 5.5. The correct answer is 13.5.
Answer:
B: |8| + (-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
When you are looking for the distance between two numbers, always add. The distance between 8 and -7 is 15 (|8| = 8). If, for instance, the answer was negative, which it is now, just find the absolute value of -15 which equals 15. The answer is B.
