Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle 7x+12 and 63 are on opposite sides of complimentary, meaning they add to 180.

180-63 = 117

117-12 = 105

105/7 = 15

-5/6x = -10/3 solve for x

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to multiply both sides of the equation by -6/5

-6/5 × (-5/6x) = -6/5 × -10/3

Then you need to calculate and reduce. First, you'll reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor, 6.

1/5 × 5x = -6/5 × (-10/3)

then reduce the greatest common divisor, 5

x = -6/5 × (-10/3)

Then multiply (multiplying two negatives equals a positive)

x = 6/5 × 10/3

reduce the greatest common divisor, 3

x = 2/5 × 10

reduce the greatest common divisor, 6

x = 2 × 2

x = 4

The sequence can be represented by $2 + 4x$ , where $x$ is a whole number( $x \geq 0$ and $x$ is an integer). By this, we should be able to plug in some whole number x and be able to get these values if they are in the sequence. To test this, let's set these numbers equal to $2 + 4x$ and confirm that there is a whole number x which equals the values selected.

$2 + 4x = 90 \Rightarrow 4x = 88 \Rightarrow x = 22 \, \checkmark$

$2 + 4x = 150 \Rightarrow 4x = 148 \Rightarrow x = 37 \, \checkmark$

$2 + 4x = 160 \Rightarrow 4x = 158 \Rightarrow x = 39.5$

When trying 160 with our equation, we find that x doesn't equal a whole number, thus our answer is C, or 160. To confirm our answer, we can test 170 and 210 and confirm that they both give us a value for x which is a whole number.

$2 + 4x = 170 \Rightarrow 4x = 168 \Rightarrow x = 42 \, \checkmark$
