Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x + 12)° + (6x - 8)° = 180°
(5x + 12 + 6x - 8)° = 180°
(11x + 4)° = 180°
11x + 4 = 180
11x = 180- 4
11x = 176
x = 176/11
x = 16
X + x + 3(2+x)= 36
2x + 6 + 3x = 36
5x + 6 = 36
5x = 36 - 6
5x = 30
x = 6
Longer piece = 2 + 6 = 8inches

There are 2 answers: choice C, choice D</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
32% = 32/100 = 0.32
32% of 400 = 0.32*400 = 400(0.32), which adds onto the original 400 to get 400+400(0.32). This is why choice D is one of the answers.
We can factor out the GCF 400 to go from 400+400(0.32) to 400(1+0.32) which then simplifies to 400(1.32) or just 400*1.32. This shows choice C is the other answer. Using a calculator,
400+400(0.32) = 400 + 128 = 528
400*1.32 = 528
meaning that 400+400(0.32) = 400*1.32
The other answer choices result in other values, showing that they aren't equivalent to 528.
