Question

answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of parallel lines

Since lines \( l \) and \( m \) are parallel, the corresponding angles are equal. So, \( 2x + 10=4x + 8 \).

Step2: Solve the equation for \( x \)

Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides: \( 10 = 2x+8 \).
Subtract \( 8 \) from both sides: \( 2x=10 - 8=2 \).
Divide both sides by \( 2 \): \( x = 1 \).

Answer:

\( x = 1 \)
