Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, sum to 180°, so

14x + 6 + 118 = 180

14x + 124 = 180 ( subtract 124 from both sides )

14x = 56 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary

14x + 6 + 118 = 180
14x + 124 = 180
14x = 180 - 124
14x = 56
x = 56/4
x = 4

$7x +8y = 25 ~~~....(i)\\\\9x +10y = 35~~~ ....(ii)\\\\\text{Multiply equation (ii) by}~ \dfrac 79 ~ \text{and do (ii) - (i):}\\\\\dfrac 79 (9x +10y) - (7x +8y) = \dfrac 79 (35) - 25\\\\\\\implies 7x +\dfrac{70y}9 - 7x -8y = \dfrac{245}9 -25\\\\\\\implies - \dfrac{2y}9 = \dfrac{20}9\\\\\\\implies -2y =20\\\\\implies y =-10\\\\\text{Substitute}~ y = -10~ \text{in equation (i):}\\\\\\7x +8(-10) = 25\\\\\implies 7x = 25 +80\\\\\implies 7x = 105 \\\\\implies x =15\\\\$
