Exercise 10 Page 165

Use the Alternate Exterior Angles Converse.

x = 133

Practice makes perfect
Both angles are on the outside of the lines and on opposite sides of the transversal. Therefore, the angles can be classified as alternate exterior angles. According to the Alternate Exterior Angles Converse, if the angles are congruent, the lines are parallel. We can therefore write the equation. x+14=147 Let's solve this equation.
x+14=147
x = 133
When x=133, m ∥ n.
