What’s the answer? ? (someone me)

x = 6 or x = - 1

rearrange the equation into standard form and factorise

subtract ( - 2x - 4 ) from both sides

x² - 5x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

the factors of - 6 which sum to - 5 are - 6 and + 1

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.
