Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

hint: m<N = m<L

Answer 2

So you'd set up your equation "5x=x+20"

Answer 3

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent, so yes.

Answer 5

I don't understand that

Answer 6

You need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Answer 7

I still don't understand it, I'm just going to guess since no one can give me an answer that will help me.

Answer 8

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.

\(\angle N \cong \angle L\)

Since \(m \angle N = 5x\)

and \(m \angle L = x + 20\), we get, by substitution,

\(5x = x + 20\)

Answer 9

Now we need to solve this equation

5x = x + 20

The first step is to get all terms with x together on one side.
We need to move the x from the right side o the left side.
Since x is being added to 20, we subtract x from both sides.
