Answer 1

@Directrix Hey, can you help out on this one please?

Answer 2

Also, using the same diagram m<N=(5x)* and m<L=(x+20)*, what is the value of x?

Answer 3

Angles N and L are opposite angles of a parallelogram.

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.

Therefore, angles L and N have the same measure.

Answer 4

Okay, so 58* for the first one?

Answer 5

That is correct.

Answer 6

Okay. What about the second one? What do I do for that?

Answer 7

m<N=(5x)* and m<L=(x+20)*
These are opposite angles of a parallelogram and are congruent.

So, solve for x where 5x = x + 20.

Answer 8

Uhh, I don't remember how to do that.

Answer 9

5x = x + 20
-x -x
-------------

What do you get when you subtract x from both sides?

Answer 10

x=5, right? Or no?

Answer 11

x = 5, yes.
