Question

Given m || n, find X....PLEASE HELP ASAP....SOS...SUCK AT MATH PLEASE HELP ME!!

Answer 1

The angles with measurements equal to 3x+3 and 2x+22 should add up to 180°. This is because the angle which measures 2x+22 and the angle that is adjacent to the angle measuring 3x+3 are supposed to be congruent. If we mathematically translate the concept above, this can be expressed as,
        3x + 3 + 2x + 22 = 180

Combining like terms,
      (3x + 2x) + (3 + 22) = 180
Simplifying,
      5x + 25 = 180

Transpose the constants to only one side of the equation,
    5x = 155
Divide the equation by 5.
    x = 31

ANSWER: x = 31
