Answer:  " x = 8 " 
_______________________________
By examining the image attached, we notice that:
_______________________________________________
The 2 (two) particular angles with the following measurements:
_________________________________________________
1)  4x - 2 ;  and: 

2)  3x + 6 ;  
_________________________________________________
are equal; since they are "alternate interior angles" ; since the 2 (two) horizontal lines in the figure are parallel; and since alternate interior angles are equal in measurement.
___________________________________________
The question asks to solve for "x" ;

As such:

  4x - 2  =  3x + 6  ;

Solve for "x"  ; 

Subtract "3" from each side of the equation ; & add "2" to each side of the equation ; 


   4x - 2 =   3x  + 6  ;
  -3x +2 =  -3x  + 2  ;
_________________________
    1x     =            8  ;  
_________________________

   →  x = 8 .
____________________________________
Now, we can check our answer:
<span>____________________________________
</span>      " 4x - 2  =  3x + 6 " ;

  → Plug in "8" for "x" ; to see if both sides of the equation are equal ;

   4(8) - 2  =?  3(8) + 6 ??

  →  32 - 2 =?  24 +  6 ?? 

  →  30 = ? 30 ?  Yes!

Placed them equal to each other.

3x + 6 = 4x - 2                 

6 (+2) = 4x (-3x)

8 = x

plug in x to both of the expressions


3(8) + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30
4(8) - 2 = 32 - 2 = 30  

True

x = 8

hope this helps


B is wrong, because you do not set them equal to 180 ( you set them equal to each other). Next, it is wrong, because they messed up the end too.

hope this helps

What is the area of the figure below?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Option a 26 inches square

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the picture is a triangle with 3 sides as 10.8 inches, 5 inches and base =10+3 = 13 inches

The altitude for base 13 inches is shown as 4 inches.

We know that for any triangle area

=1/2 * base * height

Here base = 13 and height = 4

Hence area = 1/2 (13)(4) = 26 inches square

Answer is option a

---

This can be done in another way also

There are two triangles one with base 10 inches and height 3 inches and another with base 3 inches and height 4 inches

Area of combined figure = sum of area of two triangles

= 1/2 (10)(4) +1/2(3)(4) =

20+6

=26 square inches

9) If two ropes measure 3 2/3 yards and 8/9 yard, how much longer is the first
jenyasd209 [6]
Think of two ropes next to each other. Draw a picture if it helps. To find how much longer, start with the longer one and subtract the shorter length to get the difference, or “how much longer.”
To subtract fractions they have to be changed to the same denominator. First change 3 2/3 to a complex fraction; multiply the coefficient 3 times the denominator 3, then add the numerator. 3X3=9. 9+2=11 . 11 is now numerator, use same denominator. So you get 11/3. Then change denominator to 9. To do this you have to multiply by what? You would multiply by 3. Do the same to the numerator: 11 X 3=33. The fraction becomes 33/9. Now you can subtract. Now that both have the same denominator, you just subtract the numerators. 33-8=25. So, 33/9-8/9= 25/9
