The equation given in the question is
(5x + 2)/2 = 2x - 1
5x + 2 = 2(2x - 1)
5x + 2 = 4x - 2
5x - 4x = - 2 - 2
x = -4
So the value of the unknown variable comes out to be -4. Yes your calculation is correct it seems from the answer that you have given. I hope i have been able to help you in this regard.Only be careful about the cross multiplication part.

Explanation:

<h3>8.</h3>

An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles. Define ∠PQR = 2q, and ∠QPR = 2p. The purpose of this is to let us use a single character to represent the angle, instead of 4 characters.

The above relation tells us ...

  ∠PRS = ∠PQR +∠QPR = 2q +2p

Then ...

  ∠TRS = (1/2)∠PRS = (1/2)(2q +2p) = q +p

and

  ∠TRS = ∠TQR +∠QTR . . . . . exterior is sum of remote interior

  q +p = (1/2)(2q) +∠QTR . . . . substitute for ∠TRS and ∠TQR

  p = ∠QTR = 1/2(∠QPR) . . . . . subtract q

For triangle ABC, draw line DE parallel to BC through point A. Put point D on the same side of point A that point B is on the side of the median from vertex A. Then we have congruent alternate interior angles DAB and ABC, as well as EAC and ACB. The angle sum theorem tells you that ...

  ∠DAB +∠BAC +∠CAE = ∠DAE . . . . a straight angle = 180°

Substituting the congruent angles, this gives ...

  ∠ABC +∠BAC +∠ACB = 180° . . . . . the desired relation

Name the like terms <br> 5a, 3, 4d , 2a, 2a, 5c
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

"Like terms" are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same. In other words, terms that are "like" each other. Note: the coefficients (the numbers you multiply by, such as "5" in 5x) can be different.

Step-by-step explanation: Hope this helps

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

They must meet at least three requirements like those in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

-The other angles are also corresponding for example: B is congruent to E and C to F.
