Parallel line means the same slope
(8-1)/(-17-a)=(1-5)/(a+2)
so a is 18

Which of the following statements has the same truth value as the statement "If it is Friday, then Bruce has beans for supper."?
Andrews [41]

The contrapositive of the statement p ⇒ q is not q ⇒ not p and both the statements are equivalent.

So, the contrapositive of the statement "If it is Friday, then Bruce has beans for supper" is "If Bruce does not have beans for supper, then, it is not Friday"

This is the last statement given and is the answer.

Can someone help me please
Ulleksa [173]

In geometry, there is a theorem that states: The measure of an angle formed by two secants, two tangents, or a secant and a tangent drawn from a point outside a circle is equal to half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs


Therefore, this problem has two secants, so m∠x= 1/2(141-25)

m∠x=1/2(116)

m∠x=58


Hope this helped :)
