Question

SOLVE FOR X.

PLS HURRY

Answer 1

x = 52

In this question we have 3 lines, where 2 parallel lines intersect the other.

Now, because the 2 lines are parallel, their corresponding angles are congruent. Therfore, we can derive the equation:

`2x-43 = x+9`

First, we need to move 43 to the right side.

`2x = x+9+43`

Next, we add 9 and 43.

`2x = x+52`

Then, we move x to the left side.

`2x-x = 52`

Finally, we subtract the left side.

`x = 52`
