3f+3=t
s=2f
21=f+s+t

21=f+(2f)+(3f+3)
21=6f+3
18=6f

3=first
6=second
12=third

3) Given that lines a and b are parallel, and lines o and t are parallel, find the point

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

X = 3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since O and T are parallel you can use alternating lines

7x + 5° = 5x + 11° (alt. angles, O||T)

Move the 5x and the 5°

7x - 5x = 11° - 5°

2x = 6°

Divide both sides by 2

x = 3°

This is assuming 11 is an angle
