1-for what value of x is line a parallel to line b 2-for what value of x is line a parallel to line b

1) x = 17,  line a parallel to line b

2) x = 18,  line a parallel to line b

Step-by-step explanation:

If line a parallel to line b then (10x - 40) + 50 = 180

Solve for x

10x - 40 + 50 = 180

Combine like terms

10x + 10 = 180

10x = 170

  x = 17

x = 17,  line a parallel to line b

If line a parallel to line b then 5x - 16 = 74

Solve for x

5x - 16 = 74

5x = 90

  x = 18

x = 18,  line a parallel to line b
