Answer: x = 108

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're given a diagram and

we're asked to find the value of x that would make m ll n.

We can see that the angles that are marked in the diagram

are same-side interior angles since they lie on the same side

of the transversal and they lie on the interior of lines m and n.

Therefore, in order for line m to be parallel to line n,

these angles must be supplementary.

In other words, they must add to 180 degrees.

So we can setup the equation x + 72 = 180.

Subtracting 72 from both sides gives us x = 108.

So the value of x that would make line m ll n is 108.

X^2 -3x + 0 = 0 Factor and solve

Luda [366]

So if you subtract the 0 out from the left side, the equation is now $x^{2}-3x=0$ . Since a x is common in both of the terms on the left side, you can factor it out, now making the equation look like $x(x-3)=0$ . When factoring, each of the separate things (x and (x-3)), must equal zero while the other one doesn't matter. So in order for the equation to be 0, the only potential options for x is 0 and 3. Therefore x=0 and x=3 are the two solutions
