Answer:

a=2

Step-by-step explanation:

12a - 5 = 4a + 11

Subtract 4a from each side

12a-4a - 5 = 4a-4a + 11

8a -5 = 11

Add 5 to each side

8a -5+5 = 11+5

8a = 16

8a/8 = 16/8

a =2

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. (8y+12)° and (7x+4)°​
Kitty [74]

Since the triangle is equilateral (you can tell by the tick on each side), all angles have the same measure as well.

The angles of a triangle sum up to 180 degress, so three equal angles must measure 60 degrees each.

So, in particular, we have

7x + 4 = 60 7x = 56 x = 8
