Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

x+3x+5=21

First, combine like terms. x and 3x are both terms with variables, and can be combined.

(x+3x) + 5=21

4x + 5=21

5 is being added to 4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

4x+5-5= 21-5

4x= 16

x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=16/4

x= 16/4

x=4

Let's check our solution. Plug 4 in for x and solve.

x+3x+5=21

4+3(4)+5=21

4+12+5=21

16+5=21

21=21

This solution checks out, so we know our answer is correct.

x is equal to 4, x=4.

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3x + 5 = 21

4x + 5 = 21

4x = 21 - 5

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

verify:

4 + 3*4 + 5 = 21

4 + 12 + 5 = 21

HELP!!
WITCHER [35]

The sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180° thus the measure of the exterior angle m∠K is 102° so option (B) is correct.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a 3-sided shape that is occasionally referred to as a triangle. There are 3 sides and three angles in every triangle, some of which may be the same.

Triangle is a very common figure to deal with in our daily life.

It is known that the sum of all three angles inside a triangle will be 180°.

So,   m∠A +  m∠B +  m∠C = 180°

m∠C = 180° - 58° -  44°

m∠C = 78°.

The exterior angle of C = 180- 78 = 102°.

Hence "The sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180° thus the measure of the exterior angle to m∠K is 102°".

How many times does 5 go into 100
Rasek [7]
<span>I believe in this item, we are asked to determine how many 5's should be added together in order to form 100. This is calculated by dividing 100 by 5. The answer by completing the operation would be equal to 20. Hence, the answer is 20. </span>
