Question

What is the value of x that makes l1||l2? A. 15 B. 25 C. 18 D. 29

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are corresponding angles and corresponding angles are equal when the lines are parallel

3x+17 = 4x-12

Subtract 3x from each side

3x+17-3x = 4x-12-3x

17 = x-12

Add 12 to each side

17+12 = x-12+12

29 =x

Answer 2

Answer:

D. 29

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plug in 29 in the missing values for L1 and L2, you get

L1 = 3(29) + 17 = 104

L2 = 4(29) - 12 = 104

I know I am correct because since both L1 and L2 are parallel and T in cutting them, I know that they are both going to be the same degrees, 104.

So, your answer would be D. 29

Hope the helps! :)
