Both angles 2x+6 and 96 shown are vertically opposite angles and vertically opposite angles are always equal
so 2x+6 should be equal to 96
so 2x + 6 = 96
Now we have to solve for x here and have to get x by itself on left hand side
So first get rid of +6 by doing its opposite -6 on both sides
2x + 6 -6 = 96 -6
2x = 90
Now to get x by itself we have to get rid of 2, for that divide both sides by 2
x = 45
Hence proved that x = 45
STAN walk 10 km to the grocery store.
He stops then walks 10 km east back to his house.
Let us draw this situation to better understand the problem.
As you can see, Stan first walked to the grocery store and covered a distance of 10 km then he came back to the house from the grocery store and covered a distance of 10 km.
So the total distance is 10 + 10 = 20 km
On the other hand, notice that Stan is exactly at the point where he first started that is his house, therefore, the displacement is 0 in this case.
Recall that the displacement is a vector quantity so the direction of travel also matters.
From house to grocery store = 10 km
From the grocery store to house = -10 km
Overall displacement = 10 km - 10 km = 0 km
Therefore,
Distance = 20 km
Displacement = 0 km
