What is the relationship between angle measurement 14x-32 and 9x+3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are both parallel ?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Parallel as in both have the same measurement?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not share cause the only thing the question ask is what is he value of x

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

I'm asking you what is the angle relationship between both? Is it: -Supplementary -Complementary -Alternate Interior -Alternate Exterior -Vertical -Corresponding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alternate interior

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Yes! So this mean that both the angle measurement are equal. Right?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

So if both measurement are equal, then you can write the equation: 14x -32 = 9x + 3 Do you know how to solve this equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have an idea , do i combine 14x w. 9x ?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Hmm. You want to find x, correct? So you want to get rid of the number without the x. So what do we do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to cancel out -32 we add it on both sides

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

So after doing that, what does our equation look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14x=9x+3+32 ?

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Hmm. Can you simplify 9x+3+32?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9x+35

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Yes. So our equation should look like: 14x = 9x + 35 (The proper way) We have 2 variable on each side. Now what do we do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

combine them so to move 9x we would have to make it negative

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Hmm. So what would our equation look like after we did that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x=35

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Yes!!! Final step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=7 !!!!! thanks (:

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

No problem. :)
