Question

Find the value of x that will make A||B

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

If A is parallel to B, therefore,

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

9x + 4 - 5x = 5x + 20 - 5x (subtraction property of equality)

4x + 4 = 20

4x + 4 - 4 = 20 - 4 (subtraction property of equality)

4x = 16

4x/4 = 16/4 (division property of equality)

x = 4
