Find the value of x that makes lines u and v parallel.
Find the value of x that makes lines u and v parallel.
In order to find x, we need to set our expressions equal to each other like so...
\(9x+22 = 11x-2\)
Now all we do is simplify...
\(9x+22 = 11x-2\)
subtract 9x from both sides...
\(22 = 2x - 2\)
add 2 to both sides...
\(24 = 2x\)
divide both sides by 2...
\(x = 12\)
I hope this helped!:)
Corresponding angles in parallel lines are equal.
The value of x must be 12
For u and v to be parallel,
\(9x + 22\) and \(11x - 2\) must be equal, because both angles must be equal
So, we have:
\(9x + 22 = 11x - 2\)
Collect like terms
\(11x - 9x = 22 + 2\)
\(2x = 24\)
Divide both sides by 2
\(x = 12\)
Hence, the value of x must be 12
