If L (3x + 50 degrees)is parallel to M (2x - 20 degrees) find X.

What is L and M? Lines? IF so, what is this degree business in the parenthesis?

If L and M are angles, how can angles be parallel.

I can make no sense of what you posted.

To determine the value of x that makes line L parallel to line M, we need to set their slopes equal to each other. The slopes of two lines are equal if and only if their coefficients for x are equal.

In this case, the coefficient for x in line L is 3, and in line M it is 2. Setting these coefficients equal to each other, we have:

3x = 2x

Now we can solve for x by subtracting 2x from both sides:

3x - 2x = 0

Simplifying, we get:

x = 0

Therefore, the value of x that makes line L parallel to line M is x = 0.

To determine the value of x that makes L parallel to M, we need to understand that if two lines are parallel, their slopes must be equal. In this case, the slopes are represented by the coefficients of x in the equations of the lines.

Given that L is parallel to M, we can equate their slopes:

3x = 2x

Subtracting 2x from both sides, we get:

3x - 2x = 0

Combining like terms, we obtain:

x = 0

Therefore, x = 0 is the value that makes L parallel to M.

I assume you mean

the slope of Line L = 3x+50
the slope of line M = 2x-20

If the lines are parallel, the slopes are equal. So,

3x+50 = 2x-20
x = -70
