Required
The value of x that makes l and m parallel
Let the angles be ABC (See attachment 2)
is corresponding to 50 degrees. So:

is corresponding to 55 degrees. So:

This means that:


Solve for x


Answer:
2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution to given system of equation is (x, y) = (0.8, 2.2)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>
y + x = 3 --------- eqn 1
y = 1.5x + 1 ---------- eqn 2
We have to solve the above system of equations by substitution method
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
1.5x + 1 + x = 3
Combine the like terms
2.5x + 1 = 3
Move the constants to Right hand side of equation
2.5x = 3 - 1
2.5x = 2
x = 0.8
<em><u>Substitute x = 0.8 in eqn 2</u></em>
y = 1.5(0.8) + 1
y = 1.2 + 1
y = 2.2
Thus the solution to given system of equation is (x, y) = (0.8, 2.2)
