There is actually 2 ways to solve this, I will show you both.
The first is obvious, solve for x in the first one, and plug it into the 2nd one and get the answer
4x + 7 = 12
4x = 5
x = 
8() + 3
2 * 5 + 3
10 + 3
13
The 2nd option is to manipulate the 4x + 7 to be 8x + 3
4x + 7 = 12
start by moving the 7 over
4x = 5
multiply both sides by 2
8x = 10
and add 3 to both sides
8x + 3 = 13
Answer:
-8a times 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be thought of as -8a/1 times 1/9. (1/9 is the reciprocal of 9, so were just pulling the fraction apart)
Y - 0.32y = (1 - 0.32)y = 0.68y
We know that AB and CD are parallel. This allows many assumptions.
From that we know that angle A and angle D are congruent.
That means that x + 8 = 2x - 22 and we can solve for x
x + 8 = 2x - 22
x + 30 = 2x
30 = x or x = 30
We know from the figure that angle B is x or now that we solved for x is 30 degrees. Also, we know that both angle A and angle D are 38 degrees. Now we can solve for the vertical angle E which has a measure of y degrees. A triangle has the sum of its angles equal to 180 degrees.
We can set up an equation like this 30 + 38 + y = 180
30 + 38 + y = 180
68 + y = 180
y = 112 degrees
That is how you would solve this problem
