Answer:

I'd say x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

use distributive property first to get...

-2 + 12x - 9 = 16

now look for the like terms and solve...

-2 + 12x -9 = 16

+2 +2

12x -7+7 = 16 +7

12x = 24

/12 /12

x=2

-2 + 3(4x - 3) = 16
-2 + 12x - 9 = 16
-11 + 12x = 16
-11 + 11 + 12x = 16 + 11
12x = 27
12x/12 = 27/12
X = 2 3/12
X = 2 1/4

The sum of the measures of angle M and R are complemetary. The measure of the angle M is (5×+90). The measre of angle R is 55. W
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The value of x is - 11  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

∠ M = (5x +90) °

∠ R = 55°

The sum of measure of angle M and R are complementary

Complementary Angle are those when sum of two angle equal to 90°

∵ Angle M and R are complementary in nature

∴ ∠ M + ∠ R =  90°

Or, (5x +90) ° + 55°  =  90°

Or, 5x = 90° - 90°  - 55°  

Or, 5x = - 55°

∴      x = - \frac{55}{5} = - 11

Hence the value of x is - 11        Answer

Solve x in the diagram below
zzz [600]

A straight line is 180°, so you add these two angles together because they make a straight line:

3x° + 75° = 180°        

To find "x", isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation. Subtract 75° on both sides

3x° + 75° - 75° = 180° - 75°

3x° = 105°      Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 35°

PROOF

3x° + 75° = 180°   Substitute/plug in 35 into "x" since x = 35°

3(35)° + 75° = 180°

105° + 75° = 180°

180° = 180°
