Your using the distributive property in your example, hope that helps.
It’s a right angle! which equals to 90° you already have 20° and 8° so you add them together and you get 28. now you have to subtract 90-28 which equals to 62.
ANSWER: 62°
Solve for x:
1.
4x - 7 = 3
Add 7 to both sides
4x = 10
Divide both sides by 4
x = 10/4
Simplify:
x = 5/2
Answer for question 1: x = 5/2
2.
13 + 2x/3 = 15
Multiply both sides by 3
39 + 2x = 45
Subtract 39 from both sides
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2
x = 3
Answer for question 2: x = 3
3.
10x + 7 = 15
Subtract 7 from both sides
10x = 8
Divide both sides by 10
x = 8/10
Simplify
x = 4/5
Answer for question 3: x = 4/5
