Answer:

Line a is parallel to line b:

m∠1=m∠ 5, because they are correspondent angles, then:

2x+44=5x+38

Solving for x:

2x+44-2x-38=5x+38-2x-38

6=3x

3x=6

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3

3x/3=6/3

x=2

1. Move terms, 1=2x+44 then calculate -2x =44 -1 then divide Both sides -2x=43 so it would be x= -43/2

2. Would be move terms 5=5x+38 then calculate -5x= 38-5 then divide both sides -5x =33 then it would be x= - 33/5
