(5x - 18) - 4x = -36

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x − 18 − 4x = −36

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x − 18 − 4x = −36

5x + −18 + −4x = −36

(5x + −4x) + (−18) = −36 (Combine Like Terms):

x + −18 = −36

x − 18 = −36

Step 2: Add 18 to both sides.

x − 18 + 18 = −36 + 18

x = −18


Answer: ========> x = -18 is the number




Hope that helps!!!! : )

4.5w=5.1w-30, how do I solve it
Gala2k [10]
First you have to get the same variables on one side so you’d subtract 5.1w from both sides, making the equation -0.6w = -30

then you want to single out the variable, diving -0.6 on both sides making the new equation and the answer w = 50

hope this helps!

What is the value of x ??
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tangent-Secant Exterior Angle Measure Theorem states that if a tangent and a secant or two tangents/secants intersect outside of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed by them is half of the difference of the measures of its intercepted arcs. Basically, what that means here is that x equals half of the difference of 30\textdegree and the measure of the unlabeled arc.

First, we need to find the measure of the unlabeled arc, since we can't find x without it. We know that the measure of the full arc formed by the circle is 360\textdegree, so the measure of the unlabeled arc must be 360-30-100-100=130\textdegree by the Arc Addition Postulate.

Now, we can find x. Using all of the information known, we can solve for x like this:

\\x=\frac{1}{2} (130\textdegree-30\textdegree)\\=\frac{1}{2} (100\textdegree)\\=50\textdegree

Hope this helps!
