-4(2x-5)=4

-8x+20=4

-8x=4-20

-8x/-8= -16/-8

x=2

First you multiply -4 times 2x=-8x.
Then you multiply -4 and -5=20
so -8x+20=4
You subtract 20 on outside of the equal sign.(Because if you do something on one side of the equal sign you have to do it to the other side.)
-8x=-16
then you divide -8 on both sides of the equal sign
x=2

USLUIT il Find x. 45° 30°

Answer:

111°

Step-by-step explanation:

All these are parallel lines, so the 36° angle is equal to the 36° angle inside the big triangle because they are vertically opposite.

Ignore the line cutting between 45° and the 30° and consider it as one triangle
Add them to get 75°
Now you have two known angles 75° and 36°
To get angle x add 75° and 36° to get 111°
Because x° is an exterior angle and exterior angles equal to the sum of interior angles opposite it inside the triangle.
