Mathematics

1 answer:

NeX [460]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve:

x - 8 = -20

Simply add +8 to both sides of the equation.

It becomes :

x - 8 +8 = -20 + 8

Note that, -8 + 8 will cancel out, and results to zero.

Therefore the equation becomes :

x = -20 + 8

x = -12.

Hope this helped!

In the diagram below, which distances would need to be the same in order for point A to be on the bisector of angle W? Explain w

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

PA = XA

Step-by-step explanation:

Construction of an angle bisector,

1). Mark an arc from point W with the help of a compass which intersect lines WS and WZ at the points P and X respectively.

2). Marc two arcs of the same length form the points P and X which intersect each other at a point A.

3). Joint the points A and W.

Thus AW will be the angle bisector of angle PWX where PA = XA.

Therefore, distances PA and XA will be equal in measure.
