B because its in parenthesis, x to the square and y to the square
No, because congruent angles have the same measure
12(3-2x) = 84
do distributive multiplication:
12(3) + 12(-2x) = 84
36 - 24x = 84
Deduct 36 to both sides
36 - 36 - 24x = 84 - 36
-24x = 48
divide -24 to both sides
-24x / -24 = 48/-24
x = -2
To check:
12(3-2x) = 84
12(3-2(-2) = 84
12(3+4) = 84
12(7) = 84
84 = 84
5 less than (-5) of 1/4 of my age (age/4) is 12 (=12)
-5+a/4=12
add 5 to both sides
a/4=17
times 4 both isdes
a=68
your age is 68
