First step would be to expand it and make it 2x + 14 + 3x = 12

Second step would be to add 2x + 14 + 3x so it can be 5x + 14

Third step would be to subtract 14 from both sides

Fourth step would be to subtract 12 - 14 so it can be -2

Last step to get your answer would be to divide both sides by 5

Answer to this whole equation: x = -2/5.

What is m∠Q ?
ddd [48]
Unlike the previous problem, this one requires application of the Law of Cosines.  You want to find angle Q when you know the lengths of all 3 sides of the triangle.

Law of Cosines:  a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A

Applying that here:

                           40^2 = 32^2 + 64^2 - 2(32)(64)cos Q

Do the math.  Solve for cos Q, and then find Q in degrees and Q in radians.
