Ummmmmmm -26 ......... in
X=13 I say.................
Subtract 8d from both sides
21 = 12d + 5 - 8d
Simplify 12d + 5 - 8d to 4d + 5
21 = 4d + 5
Subtract 5 from both sides
21 - 5 = 4d
Simplify 21 - 5 to 16
16 = 4d
Divide both side by 4
16/4 = d
Simplify 16/4 to 4
4 = d
Switch sides
d = 4
<u>Check answer</u>
8d + 21 =12d + 5
Let d = 4
8 × 4 + 21 = 12 × 4 + 5
Simplify 8 × 4 to 32
32 + 21 = 12 × 4 + 5
Simplify 12 × 4 to 48
32 + 21 = 48 + 5
Simplify 32 + 21 to 53
53 = 48 + 5
Simplify 48 + 5 to 53
53 = 53
1. Using your straightedge, draw a reference line, if one is not provided.
2. Copy the side of the square onto the reference line, starting at a point labeled A'.
3. Construct a perpendicular at point B' to the line through ab2.
4. Place your compass point at B', and copy the side of the square onto the perpendicular b'g. Label the end of the segment copy as point C.
5. With your compass still set at a span representing AB, place the compass point at C and swing an arc to the left.
6. Holding this same span, place the compass point at A' and swing an arc intersecting with the previous arc. Label the point of intersection as D.
7. Connect points A' to D, D to C, and C to B' to form a square.
