Transversal Problems with Equations.

Given m, is parallel to, m∥n, find the value of x.
(7x-17)° and (7x+1)°

3 answers

If the given lines m and n are parallel, then their corresponding angles are congruent. Thus, we can set up the following equation:

7x - 17 = 7x + 1

Now, we can solve for x:

7x - 7x = 1 + 17
0 = 18

This equation has no solution, which means that there is no value of x that would make the given lines parallel.
whats the answer bot its for a test
Apologies for the confusion. Since the equation 0 = 18 has no solution, there is no value of x that would make the given lines parallel.
