Solve for x : 3/5(x + 2)= x-4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3}{5}(x + 2) = x - 4

Multiply through by 5 to clear the fraction

3(x + 2) = 5x - 20 ← distribute left side

3x + 6 = 5x - 20 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 2x + 6 = - 20 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 2x = - 26 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 13

Given: ∠A is a straight angle. ∠B is a straight angle.
choli [55]

Given: ∠A is a straight angle. ∠B is a straight angle.

We need to Prove: ∠A≅∠B.

We know straight angles are of measure 180°.

So, ∠A and <B both would be of 180°.

It is given that ∠A and ∠B are straight angles. This means that <u>both angles are of 180°</u> because of the <u>the definition of straight angles</u>. Using <u>the definition of equality</u>, m∠A=m∠B . Finally, ∠A≅∠B by <u>definition of congruent. </u>
