x = 4 and x = - 9
In both cases the angles inside the parallel lines are same sided interior angles
24x - 1 + 20x + 5 = 180
44x + 4 = 180 (subtract 4 from both sides )
44x = 176 ( divide both sides by 44 )
x = 
= 4
Similarly
x + 109 + x + 89 = 180
2x + 198 = 180 ( subtract 198 from both sides )
2x = - 18
x = 
= - 9
Answer: (-4,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to add up all 3 mixed numbers to find the total laps.
2 + 1/4 + 1 + 1/2 + 3 + 5/8 =
(2 + 1 + 3) + (1/4 + 1/2 + 5/8) =
6 + (2/8 + 4/8 + 5/8) =
6 + (11/8) =
6 + (1 + 3/8) =
7 3/8 laps
I believe that X would be -2.47619.
First you distribute the -1 in front of the parenthesis. Then distribute the 8 outside of the bracts. And finally just solve for X by combing like terms.
