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.
-2x<5-3
-2x<2
divide both sides by -2
x<-1
remember +/-=-
that's why it's a negative answer
Answer:
The answers to the first question are A,C,D
The answer to the second question is YZ=16
Step-by-step explanation:
(1st Question)
Since <K and <M Are equal, and both <L's are equal, KL and ML are congruent (Answer choice) because of the ASA postulate.
You need to create the following equation to find the length of KN and MN 7x-4=5x+12
(Get the "x" variable to one side)
2x-4=12
(Isolate the variable)(Remove the 4)
2x=16
(Divide the 2 by itself to remove it from the x, remember to divide both sides by 2)
x=8 (Answer Choice)
Plug in the x value into each equation
KN= 7(8)-4
KN= 56-4
KN= 52
MN= 5(8)+12
MN= 40+12
MN= 52 (Answer Choice)
MN=KN
(Second Question)
Since XWY(20) is half of XWZ(40), ZWY also equals 20.
This now proves the triangle is congruent by the AAS postulate.
Since the triangles are congruent, if XY = 16, YZ also equals 16.
Answer:
314/302=1.039735 growth in US population in 5 years
(1.039735)^1/5=0.782% average growth in US population per year.
Answer:
The answer is C, the coefficient.
