7x. Try to ignore the X's for a second and think of the problem as -12+5 (aka 5-12). The answer to that is 7. now add the x back again to get: 7x
Answer:
m = 7
m = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
It’s line always goes in both directions
The geometric sequence is 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729 because each time it is multiplied by 3.
Supplementary means that the angles have to add up to 180, so you have your equation.
180=5x+17x-18
198=22x
x=9
Then to find the measures of the angles, you plug x back in.
m∠ABD=5(9)=45 degrees
m∠BDE=17(9)-18=153-18=135 degrees
