Take this example (cause it's easy to explain)

10+5x=15x

To solve it we have to minus five on both side. We have to do this because we need to isolate the variable (in this case x) on the one side so we can divide and solve.

You would -5x (inverse from positive 5) from both sides on this because whatever you do to one side you have to do to the others to make it equal. In this case the answer would be x=1 (again cause it's easy lol.)

I hope this helps you!

HELP ME! In a complete sentence, describe the relationship between the three angles in the diagram below. Write and solve an equ
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

  b = 17

  ∠QPS = 124°

  ∠SPT = 17°

  ∠TPR = 39°

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The sum of the three angles shown is a linear angle, with a measure of 180°.

This fact can be used to write an equation:

  (8b -12)° +b° +(2b+5)° = 180°

  11b -7 = 180

  11b = 187

  b = 17

  8b -12 = 8(17) -12 = 124

  2b +5 = 2(17) +5 = 39

The value of b is 17.

The angle measures are ...

  ∠QPS = 124°

  ∠SPT = 17°

  ∠TPR = 39°
