Let "x" be a substitute for "a number"
1/3(x)=x-12 Multiply by 3
x=3x-36 Get n onto the same side of the equation
2x=36 Divide by 2
x=18
That's your answer.
Answer:
This question requires a comparison between two different variables 6% and 16% values. If we let x=$ loaned on 6% loans and y=$ loaned on 16% loans, then we can relate two equations.
0.06x + 0.16y = $1500 --> referencing the interest earned from each percentage loaned.
x + y = $16000 --> referencing the total amount of money loaned out.
Rearrange either equation and substitute for a value in the other equation or use elimination to determine each individual variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of the given variable x in the missing angles is; x = 12°
<h3>How to find alternate Angles?</h3>
Alternate angles are defined as the angles that occur on opposite sides of the transversal line and as such have the same size. There are two different types of alternate angles namely alternate interior angles as well as alternate exterior angles.
Now, from the question, we can see that ∠4 and ∠6 suit the definition of alternate angles and as such we can say that they are both congruent.
Since ∠4 = (8x + 4)° and ∠6 = (6x + 28)°, then we can say that;
(8x + 4)° = (6x + 28)°
Rearranging this gives us;
8x - 6x = 28 - 4
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12°
