Answer:

Answer -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple:

2x-3=-8

+3 +3, Add 3 on both sides of the equal sign.

2x = -5, Bring the 2x down and add the -8 + 3

2 2, Divide by 2

x= -2.5

Answer:

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A hole is an input value that makes both numerator and denominator equal to zero.

Let's factorize the numerator and denominator:

3x² - 108 = 3(x² - 36) = 3(x + 6)(x - 6)
x² + 2x - 24 = x² + 6x - 4x - 24 = x(x + 6) - 4(x + 6) = (x - 4)(x + 6)

We have same factor of x + 6:

x + 6 = 0
x = - 6 is a hole

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

instead of (2x - 60 ) there should be (60 - 2x) because since they are parallel lines corresponding sides must be equal . It is contradictory because the size of the corresponding angles is different.

Note : Corresponding angles are the angles which are formed in matching corners or corresponding corners with the transversal when two parallel lines are intersected by any other line (i.e. the transversal).
