Help please. thanks :)

Answer:
A. x=8 y=21
Step-by-step explanation:
line l and line m are parallel, and both angles that have x in the values are on the same side, so they are equal to each other.
7x+12=12x-28
+28 +28
7x+40=12x
-7x -7x
40=5x
/5 /5
8=x
Since A is the only choice that has x=8, it must be the right answer.
Answer:
x = 8, y = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
parallel means they're equal so..
7x + 12 = 12x - 28
-7x -7x
12 = 5x -28
+28 +28
40 = 5x
8 = x
plug in 8 to 12x - 28
12(8) - 28
96 - 28 = 68
180 - 68 = 112
9y - 77 = 112
+77 +77
9y = 189
y = 21
