Question

Help me please thank you

Answer 1

x = 7

Explanation:

5x + 9 = 6x + 2

5x - 6x = 2 - 9

-x = -7

x = 7

probe:

5*7 + 9 = 6*7 + 2

35 + 9 = 42 + 2 = 44

Answer 2

x = 11

Explanation:

The angles shown are alternate exterior angles. If they are equal, then the lines are parallel

5x+9 = 6x-2

Subtract 5x from each side

5x-5x+9 = 6x-5x-2

9 = x-2

Add 2 to each side

9+2 = x

11 =x
