I need help on proving lines parallel..?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

this states all the theorems/postulates/converses that you can use to prove them parallel http://www.cliffsnotes.com/study_guide/Testing-for-Parallel-Lines.topicArticleId-18851,articleId-18780.html

idk how to do fractions /:

OpenStudy (aripotta):

wait...are you solving for x? or proving them parallel?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it said find the value of x so that l || m

OpenStudy (aripotta):

|dw:1348454113305:dw| ok, so if they were parallel, angles a and b would be corresponding angles and they would be congruent. so 90 = x/2-3

OpenStudy (aripotta):

oh wait hold on, not corresponding angles

OpenStudy (aripotta):

...is that the transversal, or the first one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (aripotta):
