Answer:

You want to solve for x, the first thing you need to do is distribute

The 2 through the x+4 then the other 2 through the -8-x

2(x+4)= 2x+8

2(-8-x)= -16-2x

2x+8=-16-2x-2x (combine like terms on the right side)

2x+8=-16-4x (now subtract 8 from each side)

2x=-24-4x (8-8=0, -16-8=-24) (now add 4x to each side)

6x=-24 (-4x+4x=0, 2x+4x=6x), (divide each side by 6)

x=-4 (6/6=1, -24/6=-4)

x=-4

Hope this helps ;)

Answer: To solve these types of questions what I always do is get a protractor if you have one and put it up against to where the dot is in the middle of the empty hole and then get a ruler or a pencil and make the line keep going to see what angle. In this case your answer is 65% I think.
