Question

Look at the diagram below. Find mAngle1 that makes m and n parallel

Answer 1

Answer:

$5x + 8 = 26 + 2x \\ 5x - 2x = 26 - 8 \\ 3x = 18 \\ x = \frac{18}{3} \\ \therefore \: x = 6 \\ 5x + 8 = 5(6) + 8 = 38 \degree \\ 26 + 2x = 26 + 2(6) \\ = 26 + 12 = 38 \degree \\\therefore \: m \: \parallel \: n$
