Answer:
x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°.
(2x +8) +(2x +4) = 180
4x +12 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify
x +3 = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)
x = 42 . . . . . . subtract 3

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.
Answer: x-5+5+5

Answer:
254/324 which is about 78.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
found area of entire square to be 18² or 324
found area of 4-quarter circles - which equals one circle with radius of 9
A = 81π which is about 70
subtracted 324 and 70 to get 254
ratio of shaded to unshaded is 254 : 324
