Question

Find the value of x that makes m∥n. PLEASEE HELP

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

143=5x+13(being corresponding angles)

143-13=5x

130/5=x

26=x

Answer 2

Answer:  26

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

Explanation:

The angles shown are corresponding angles. Notice how they are in the northeast corner of their respective four-corner configuration.

If m is parallel to n, then the corresponding angles are congruent, and we can say...

5x+13 = 143

5x = 143-13 .... subtract 13 from both sides

5x = 130

x = 130/5 .... divide both sides by 5

x = 26

So taking this logic in reverse: if x = 26, then that leads to 5x+13 equal to 143, making the corresponding angles congruent. Therefore, it would lead to lines m and n being parallel.
