Set measurements equal to each other.
7X + 20 = 8X + 8
-7X -7X
20 = X + 8
-8 -8
ANSWER: X=12
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm pretty sure some smart guy in Greece noticed this but:
Since 4 + 8 = 12, thats the only option where 2 of the smaller sides add up to the big one. I don't know much of the reasoning behind this but my math teacher showed it to us by using Popsicle sticks to make triangles. You can try it if that helps you think about it. Apparently, if you add up the 2 smaller sides, then it HAS to be more than the biggest side.
When they are the exact same, like carbon copies
77-2 = 75 so that is another way :) yet, you can do 5*15 :)
Mark as brainliest pleases and thank you!
