Question

Find the value of that makes m ll n.

Answer 1

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.
