What is L and M? Lines? IF so, what is this degree business in the parenthesis?
If L and M are angles, how can angles be parallel.
I can make no sense of what you posted.

the slope of Line L = 3x+50
the slope of line M = 2x-20
If the lines are parallel, the slopes are equal. So,
3x+50 = 2x-20
x = -70
In this case, the coefficient for x in line L is 3, and in line M it is 2. Setting these coefficients equal to each other, we have:
3x = 2x
Now we can solve for x by subtracting 2x from both sides:
3x - 2x = 0
Simplifying, we get:
x = 0
Therefore, the value of x that makes line L parallel to line M is x = 0.
Given that L is parallel to M, we can equate their slopes:
3x = 2x
Subtracting 2x from both sides, we get:
3x - 2x = 0
Combining like terms, we obtain:
x = 0
Therefore, x = 0 is the value that makes L parallel to M.
