Question

What value of x would prove that lines I and M are parallel ?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For the lines to be parallel, then

(8x - 31) and (6x + 3) are alternate angles and congruent, then

8x - 31 = 6x + 3 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

2x - 31 = 3 ( add 31 to both sides )

2x = 34 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 17
