8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
mutiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5) = -20
(-4)(-x)= 4x
8x-20+4x= -44
8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )
12x-20= -44
move -20 to the other side
sign changes from -20 to +20
12x-20+20= -44+20
12x= -44+20
12x= -24
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= -24/12
Answer: x= -2
Answer:
2x° = 45°, 3x° = 67.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°
2x+3x+3x=180°
8x=180°
x=22.5°
2x=22.5°x2=45°
3x=22.5°x3=67.5°
Answer:
x = -11/5 and y = 24/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use elimination.
First, we need to multiply so that at least one variable can cancel out.
We can multiply the top equation by 2.
So we get
4x + 6y = 20
Then, we can use elimination.
The x's cancel out.
So we get 5y = 24
Or y = 24/5
Then, we can plug in this y value back into the first equation to find x.
2x + 3(24/5) = 10
2x + 72/5 = 50/5
2x = -22/5
x = -11/5
So x = -11/5 and y = 24/5
