Question

Find value of x that will make a||b

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

If line A is parallel to line B, therefore,

9x + 4 = 5x + 20 (alternate interior angles theorem)

Solve for x. Collect like terms together

9x - 5x = -4 + 20

4x = 16

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4

Therefore, the value of x that will make lime A parallel to line B is 4
