Parallel lines relay race
does anyone know how to solve these?

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Lines 'l' and 'm' are the parallel lines and a transversal line is intersecting these  lines.

(9x + 13)° = (12x - 29)° [Alternate interior angles]

9x - 12x = -29 - 13

-3x = -42

x = 14

2). By substituting x = 14 in the box.

(13x + 5)° + (8x - 14)° = 180° [Consecutive interior angles]

21x - 9 = 180

21x = 189

x = 9

3). By placing x = 9 in the box,

(5x + 52)° = (9x - 16)° [Corresponding angles]

5x - 9x = -52 - 16

-4x = -68

x = 17

4). By placing x = 17 in the box,

(10x + 17)° = (12x + 7)° [Alternate exterior angles]

10x - 12x = -17 + 7

-2x = -10

x = 5

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c
