Answer:

x = 26; l = 137; m = 137

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lines are parallel, that means the measurements are too. As such, equal the two expressions together

5x + 7 = 8x - 71

add 71 to both sides

5x + 7 + 71 = 8x - 71 + 71

-71 and +71 cancel each other out

5x + 78 = 8x

subtract 5x from both sides

5x - 5x + 78 = 8x - 5x

5x - 5x cancels each other out

78 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

3x ÷ 3 = 1x which can also be written as just x

78 ÷ 3 = x

26 = x

plug in this x value into both expressions to find variables l and m

5(26) + 7

130 + 7

137

8(26) - 71

208 - 71

137

Solve for x. <br><br> there’s a 76 and x.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

104

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle is supplementary, so the total angle measure (of 79 and x) is 180. Just subtract the value we have (76) from the total value (180), and you get x.
