Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First u need to distribute the -1 to (x + 4), creating the equation, -8 = -x - 4. Then add the -4 to both sides, and you get, -4 = -x. Then divide by -1 to both sides, and x = 4.

-8=-(x+4)

Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the bracket.

Multiply the bracket by -1

(-1)(x)(-1)(4)

-8=-x-4

Move -4 to the other side. Sign changes from -4 to +4.

-8+4=-x-4+4

-4=-x

Multiply both sides by -1 to get +x.

-4(-1)=(-x)(-1)

x=4

Answer: x=4

Why can you use Linear Pairs and Vertical Angles to prove lines are parallel?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The reason why linear pairs and vertical angles are used to prove lines are parallel is because they area transversal drawn through the parallel lines will form angles on each of the two parallel lines including;

1) Supplementary linear pairs  and

2) Vertical angles

3) Alternate angles

Given that either;

a) The corresponding angles that form the linear pairs are congruent

b) The corresponding vertically opposite angles are congruent

c) The corresponding alternate angles are congruent, we have;

The two lines are said to be parallel.

Which step was the first error made? -3\left(2x-3\right)=33−3(2x−3)=33 -6x+6=33−6x+6=33 step 1 -6x=27−6x=27 step 2 \frac{\left(-
Afina-wow [57]

Given:

The equation is

-3(2x-3)=33

The incorrect solution steps are given.

To find:

The first error.

Solution:

We have,

-3(2x-3)=33

Using distributive property, we get

-3(2x)-3(-3)=33

-6x+9=33

The given step 1 is -6x+6=33, which is not correct.

Therefore, there is first error in step  1 because the distribution property is not used properly.

Hence, the correct option is D.
