The equation would be something like
20 - 2/3x = 12

so times it by 3 to get rid of the demoninator

60 - 2x = 36

rearrange

-2x = 36 - 60

solve

-2x = -24

so

x = 12

The number is 12, if you split it into 3 parts you get 4 so 2/3 of it would be 8. then you just take 20 ans subtract 8 to get 12.

What’s the value of x?
Art [367]

Answer:

The answer is 28. I will explain below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the angles, and determine what relationship they might be in. In this case, they are a pair of vertical angles. Recall that vertical angles are congruent, meaning the same measure. So set 3x+2 equal to 86, the equation looking like this:  3x+2=86. Now subtract the 2 from 86 to get 84, and you now have 3x=84. Divide 3x by three, and 84 by three. You should end up with x=28, and that's your answer.
