3. a) Show consecutive angles supplementary.
(2x + 14) + (15x – 4) = 180
17x + 10 = 180
17x = 170
x = 10
(2x + 14) = 2 • 10 + 14 = 20 + 14 = 34
(15x – 4) = 15 • 10 – 4 = 150 – 4 = 146
(4x – 6) = 4 • 10 – 6 = 40 – 6 = 34
34 + 146 = 180
When x = 10, consecutive angles are supplementary.
b) Show opposite sides congruent.

+ 3x – 7 = x
-2x + 18
3x – 7 = -2x + 18
5x = 25
x = 5
+ 3 • 5 – 7 = 25 + 15 -7 = 33
