OpenStudy (anonymous):

alternate angles between parallel lines are equal

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If B and D are parallel, then 14x - 32 = 9x + 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

since alternative interior angles are equal

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

alternate*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks everyone :) so 14x - 32 = 9x + 3 so would i start by adding 32 to both sides?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes that's a good start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14x - 32 = 9x + 3 +32 +32 14x=9x+35 no how do i get the "x's" on the same side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*now

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

subtract 9x from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14x=9x+35 -9x -9x 5x=35 /5 /5 x=7?! :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that is correct
