Question

Set up an equation and solve for x.

Answer 1

Equation:
`14x + 2 = 15x - 3`

Solution:
`x = 5`

Explanation:

The two lines are parallel, therefore, the two given angles are equal alternate exterior angles.

`14x + 2 = 15x - 3 \text{ / Subtract 14x}\\14x + 2 - 14x = 15x - 3 - 14x\\\to 2 = x - 3 \text{ / Add 3}\\2 + 3 = x - 3 + 3\\\to 5 = x`
