NEED HELP ASAP, MARKING BRAINLIEST.

Solve for the value of x that makes lines r and s parallel.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y + 140 = 180       {linear pair}

        y = 180 - 140

        y = 40

If any pair of exterior angles are congruent , then the lines  r and s will be parallel

5x - 5 = 40

     5x = 40 + 5

     5x = 45

       x = 45/5

x = 9

The value of x = 9  will make lines r and s parallel.
