Answer: (x-6)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
x=2y+6
x-6=2y
(x-6)/2=y
y=(x-6)/2
Answer:
<span>⇒x=9</span> (positive solution)
Explanation:
<span><span>x2</span>−36=5x</span>
<span>→<span>x2</span>−36−5x=0</span>
Factor the expression:
We get:
<span><span>(x−9)</span><span>(x+4)</span>=0</span>
First solution:
<span>⇒<span>(x−9)</span>=<span>0<span>x+4</span></span></span>
<span>⇒<span>(x−9)</span>=0</span>
<span>⇒x=<span>9</span></span>
First set up the equation (sum of the angles is 180)
2x + 2(x-1) + (5x +2) = 180
distribute:
2x + 2x -2 + 5x +2 = 180
combine like terms:
9x = 180
solve for x:
x = 20
SO:
2x° = 2(20) = 40 degrees
2(x-1)° = 2(20) - 2 = 40 - 2 = 38 degrees
5x + 2°= 5(20) + 2 = 100 + 2=102 degrees
check: 40 + 38 + 102 = 180
