It is equivalent I believe...hope this helps!
Answer:
4x-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
180 = 44 + 3x - 11 + 4x - 7
Combine like terms: 180 = 26 + 7x
Simplify: 154 = 7x
Simplify: 22 = x
Substitute: 3(22) - 11 = 55 and 4(22) - 7 = 81
Create inequality: 44 < 55 < 81
Answer:
The value of x is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ Quadrilateral ABCD is congruent to quadrilateral JKLM
∴ AB = JK and BC = KL
∴ CD = LM and AD = JM
∵ BC = 8x + 7
∵ KL = 31
∵ BC = KL
→ Equate their right sides
∴ 8x + 7 = 31
→ Subtract 7 from both sides
∵ 8x + 7 - 7 = 31 - 7
∴ 8x = 24
→ Divide both sides by 8 to find x
∴ 
= 
∴ x = 3
∴ The value of x is 3
If you add 2 odd numbers together eg. 5+5 it would become an even number eg. 10.
If you add 2 even numbers together eg. 60+60 it would stay as an even number eg.120.
The product is basically the same thing as that but instead of adding the same number twice, you multiplying the number with 2 which is the same as adding two of the same numbers.
