Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the degrees of m<VUJ and m<JUT and make them equal to 175 since both angles exist with m<VUT.
17x - 3 + 17x + 8 = 175
34x - 3 + 8 = 175
34x + 5 = 175
34x = 170
x = 5
Can you show picture of sentences
-5(-2b-1)
Collect like terms and simplify
(Multiply the number outside the bracket with the ones in the parentheses/bracket)
(-x-)= +
(+x+)= +
(-x+)= -
(+x-)= -
Basically same signs multiplied = +
Different signs multiplied = -
-5(-2b)= 10b
-5(-1)=5
10b+5 is your answer
