Find the value of x that makes lines u and v parallel.

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

If the lines u and v are parallel and a third line (transversal) is intersecting these lines at two distinct points,

Both the angles given in the picture, will be equal in measure as these angles are interior alternate angles.

16x = 15x + 5

16x - 15x = 5

x = 5

Therefore, x = 5 makes the lines v and u parallel.
