Find the value of X that makes m||n Two parallel lines, m and n intersected by a transversal line. A pair of alternate exterior angle are marked left-parenthesis 4 x plus 24 right-parenthesis degrees and 8 x degrees.

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  a pair of alternate exterior angle of 4x + 24 and 8x, we are to find the value of x that will make m and n parallel.

Alternate exterior angles are equal, hence;

4x + 24 = 8x

24 = 8x - 4x

24 = 4x

Rearrange

4x = 24

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 6

Hence the value of x required is 6
