To solve this equation, we must get all of the variables to one side of the equation and all of the constants (numbers) to the other side of the equation. To begin, however, we must add together the two terms on the left side of the equation that both have variables.

5x + 15 + 2x = 24 + 4x

7x + 15 = 24 + 4x

Next, we should subtract 4x from both sides of the equation so that the 4x on the right side cancels out and all of the variable terms are now on the left side.

3x + 15 = 24

Similarly, we also want to subtract 15 from both sides of the equation so that all of the constants are on the right side of the equation and we can get the variable alone on the left side.

3x = 9

Finally, we should divide both sides of the equation by 3 so that we can get rid of the coefficient of 3 on the variable x and get our answer.

x = 3

Therefore, your answer is x = 3.

Hope this helps!

How to find measurement of arc with only one angle measure?
AfilCa [17]

That depends upon what type of measurement you are looking for and what kind of an angle you are given. If you are looking for the measure of the arc in degrees AND the angle is a central angle, then the degree measure of the arc is the same as the degree measure of the central angle. If you are looking for the measure of the arc in degrees AND the angle you are given is inscribed, then the arc is double the degrees of the inscribed angle. If you are looking for the measure of the arc in units like inches or feet or meters, there is a formula for that:

arc length=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi   r

where the angle theta is the degree measure of the central angle, and r is the radius of the circle. You have to know the radius to use this formula if what you are looking for is the arc length. If you don't know the radius this formula will be useless to you since you can't solve an equation with more than one unknown. Those are the ones you probably need to be most concerned with.

Help? I’m not really understanding this.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

x = 109

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 12) \degree + 59 \degree = 180 \degree \\ (sum \: of \: exterior \: angles \: on \: same \: side \:  \\ of \: transversal) \\ (x + 71) \degree  = 180 \degree \\ x + 71 = 180 \\ x = 180 - 71 \\ \purple{ \bold{ x = 109}}

Is 147 a perfect square? Give reasons
gregori [183]
147 is not a perfect square. The reason 147 is not a perfect square is because, we know that 144 is a perfect square because you can divide it by 12. So that means that your square root would be inbetween 12 and 13. If you multiple 12•12 you get 144. And if you multiply 13•13 you get 169. So neither of those numbers are equal 147 so 147 is NOT a square but the closest square root is 12.
