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
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
