Vertical angles are congruent...they are equal....so set them equal to each other and solve for x

6x - 22 = 4x + 2
6x - 4x = 2 + 22
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12 <==

Which algebraic expression represents the phrase below? five times the sum of a number and eleven, divided by three times the su

Umnica [9.8K]

The phrase has two parts:

Five times the sum of a number and eleven, divided by three times the sum of the number and eight

Let the number be x. Five times the sum of a number and eleven means 5 multiplied to the sum of x and 11. In expression this will be written as:

5(x + 11)

Three times the sum of the number and eight means 3 multiplied to the sum of x and 8. In expression this will be written as:

3(x + 8)

So, the overall expression will be:

$\frac{5(x+11)}{3(x+8)}$

From the given picture, we can see that 2 sides are congruen, then the given triangle is an isosceles triangle. In this triangle the base angles are congruent, so we can draw the following picture:

Now, since interior angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees, we have
