1) Distribute 8(2x-14) + 13 = 4x - 27 then simplify like terms to get: 16x - 99 = 4x - 27.
2) Subtract 4x on both sides and at the same time add 99 to both sides to get: 12x=72.
3) Divide both sides by 12 to get x=6.
PART B: 6 makes the equation true because you just solved for it.
Number 9 is 36 because there are 18/40 who feel safe, so it multiplied would be 36. C
Acute. Step-by-step explanation: Using the Triangle Inequality Theorem you know that the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle are greater than the length of the third side.
