are u sure
Apologies for the confusion, here is the correct calculation:
Since m and n are parallel lines, the slopes of the lines are equal. The slope of line m, given by (7x + 27) is 7, and the slope of line n, given by (9x - 7) is 9. Therefore, setting up the equation:
7 = 9
7x + 27 = 9x - 7
2x = 34
x = 17
Therefore, the value of x is 17.
