Answer:
<h2>x = 8 (Verified) ✅</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
If we visualize the figure, we can see that sides LN and MP are going to be parallel and of the same length.
So x = 2x - 8
Subtract x
0 = x - 8
x = 8
Check the answer
8 = 2(8) - 8
8 = 16 - 8
8 = 8 ✅
<span>The sum of two numbers is 50. The smaller number is 18 less than the larger number. What are the numbers?
-----
Equations:
x + y = 50
x = y - 18
-------------------
Add and solve for "x"::
2x = 32
x = 16
-----
Solve for "y"::
16 + y = 50
y = 34

Hope I helped!

Answer: 73</h3>
==================================================
Work Shown:
Check out the diagram below. Note the pair of alternate interior angles that are congruent (each 37 degrees). Then focus on triangle ABC. With the reference angle being at A, this means we use the tangent function because BC = x is the opposite side and AB = 97 is the adjacent side.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(A) = BC/AB
tan(37) = x/97
97*tan(37) = x
x = 97*tan(37)
x = 73.094742859971
For the last step, you'll need a calculator that can handle trig functions. Make sure the calculator is in degree mode. The result here is approximate. This rounds to 73 when rounding to the nearest whole number.
