Question

Given m|n, find the value of x. kt (x-17) (5x-1) >m please help me

Answer 1

Answer:  33

=======================================================

Explanation:

The information that m || n is not needed or used, so I'm not sure why your teacher put that in there.

The angles shown are a linear pair. They are adjacent and they are supplementary. They form a straight angle.

Supplementary angles add to 180.

(x-17)+(5x-1) = 180

x-17+5x-1 = 180

(x+5x)+(-17-1) = 180

6x-18 = 180

6x = 180+18

6x = 198

x = 198/6

x = 33

---------

Extra info:

if x = 33, then,

• x-17 = 33-17 = 16
• 5x-1 = 5*33-1 = 165-1 = 164

Adding the angles gives 16+164 = 180 which helps confirm our answer.
