Question

Find the value of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two lines, the transversal intersects are parallel we know that the angles are same-side interior. This means they are supplementary or add up to 180. Therefore, to solve add the two expressions and set them equal to 180, then solve with properties of equality.

14x+7+10x+5=180

First, add like terms

24x+12=180

Then, subtract 12 from both sides

24x=168

Next, divide both sides by 24

x=7
