Instructions: Given the following image of two parallel lines cut by a transversal, find the value of x.

First, these angles are alternate interior angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

(10x - 5)° and (9x + 1)° are alternate interior angles. Thus, they are congruent to each other.

Thus, to find x, we will set each angle equal to the other.

Solve for x. Collect like terms

step-by-step explanation:

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
