14 + 5(x+3)-7
14 + 5x +15 -7
5x + 22
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we must simply solve for x. To do this, we will need equation operations, and the use of the distributive property.
Let's work this line by line until we have the value for x:
3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1
3*-x + 3*(2x + 1) = x - 1
-3x + 6x + 3 = x - 1
3x + 3 = x - 1
2x = -4
x = -2
Now we can check our answer for x by plugging back into the original equation and see if the left hand side is equal to the right hand side:
3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1
3{-(-2) + (2(-2) + 1)} ?= (-2) - 1
3{2 + (-4 + 1)} ?= -3
3{2 + (-3)} ?= -3
3{-1} ?= -3
-3 == -3
Thus, we have found the solution for x to be equivalent to negative 2.
Cheers.
Answer:
x=3
z=65
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+97 and 14x+73 are vertical angles which means they are equal
6x+97= 14x+73
Subtract 6x from each side
6x-6x+97= 14x-6x+73
97 = 8x +73
Subtract 73 from each side
97-73 = 8x+73-73
24 = 8x
Divide each side by 8
24/8 = 8x/8
3 = x
Now we need to find z
6x+97 and z are supplementary angles which means they add to 180
6x+97 +z = 180
6(3) +97 +z = 180
18+97+z=180
Combine like terms
115+z = 180
Subtract 115 from each side
115-115 +z=180-115
z = 65
The isosceles trapezoid is part of an isosceles triangle with a 34 degree vertex angle. The measure of an acute base angle of the trapezoid is 73 degrees.
