Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 4) and (12x + 8) are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , then
2x + 4 + 12x + 8 = 180
14x + 12 = 180 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
14x = 168 ( divide both sides by 14 )
x = 12
Answer:
- 62
Step-by-step explanation:
- 26 - 6²
= - 26 - 36
= - 62
59 is a tough bird to deal with; its only factors are 1 and 59.
Thus, forget about factoring. Instead, use the quadratic formula, or solve the equation by completing the square.
Please note: x2 is ambiguous. Please write x^2 to indicate "the square of 2."
Here you have 1x^2 - 12x + 59 = 0, for which a=1, b=-12 and c=59.
Use the quadratic formula: x=[-b plus or minus sqrt(b^2-4ac)] / (2a)
to find the two roots. Notice that the "discriminant" b^2 - 4ac will be negative, meaning that your two roots will be "complex."
