Well, we'll use the distributive property whenever x by itself is being added/subtracted to another number and a number is outside the parentheses :P.

3(x + 5) ------> 3 times x + 3 times 5 -----> 3x + 15.

2(x + 2) ------> 2 times x + 2 times 2 -----> 2x + 2

Now once you get all the variables on the left side of the equation and the positive numbers on the right side of the equation, x = 9. To check, just type this problem into an algebraic calculator and you'll get the same results! c:

[tex] 3(x + 5) - 2(x + 2) = 20 \\
3x + 15 - 2x - 4 = 20\\
5x + 11 = 20\\
5x = 9\\
x = 1\frac{4}{5} [tex]

A. Using geometry terms, identify what the side road would be called?
Fofino [41]

The vertical angles from the attached image will be; 1 and 4; 2 and 3; 5 and 8; 6 and 7.

The Linear pair angles would be: 1 and 3; 2 and 4; 5 and 7; 6 and 8; 1 and 2; 3 and 4; 5 and 6; 7 and 8

<h3>How to identify angle theorems?</h3>

A) From the attached image, the side roads resemble 2 parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Now, if we consider the roads to be very fat lines, then it means that the main road is the transversal while the two side roads are parallel to each other.

B) Vertical angles are defined as angles that are opposite of each other The vertical angles from the attached image will be; 1 and 4; 2 and 3; 5 and 8; 6 and 7.

The Linear pair angles would be: 1 and 3; 2 and 4; 5 and 7; 6 and 8; 1 and 2; 3 and 4; 5 and 6; 7 and 8when two lines cross

The supplementary angles would be: 3 and 5; 4 and 6

C) If a fourth road is constructed, it will be perpendicular to the main road, or perpendicular to the two side roads, and it will form a right triangle.

Thus, the acute angles of the triangles will be complementary because their sum will be 90°
