<u>Define x:</u>
Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number is x + 2

<u>Construct equation:</u>
<span>twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
</span>⇒2x = x + 2 - 16

<u>Solve x:</u>
2x = x + 2 - 16
x = -14

<u>Find the two numbers:</u>
Smaller number = x = -14
Larger number = x + 2 = -12

Answer: The two numbers are -14 and -12

Let's make an equation. X will be the smaller number while y is the bigger.
x+2=y; since they're consecutive even numbers. We will use that equation to represent y.
Twice the smaller; 2x
16 more than the larger; 16+x+2
2x=16+x+2; let's add like terms.
2x=18+x
Let's subtract x from both sides.
x=18
If the smaller number is 18, the bigger number is 20.

The two numbers are 18 and 20.

Solve the equation for x. 10x= 120​
Dominik [7]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

10x = 120                 original equation

10x/10 = 120/10       divide both sides by 10

x = 12                       simplify

Check work:

The isosceles trapezoid is part of an isosceles triangle with a 36° vertex angle. What is the measure of an acute base angle of
alexandr402 [8]
The answer is D) 72, 108

First you have to find out the measure of the two other angles in the triangle. Those two angles will be equivalent.

Because the sum of all three angles in a triangle is 180, you subtract 36 from it (180 - 36 = 144) then divide by 2 (144/2 = 72).

So, the two angles at the bottom of the triangle are each 72. Because those angles are supplementary to the angles at the top of the trapezoid, you subtract 72 from 180 (180 - 72 = 108).

108 + 108 = 216

The sum of all the angles in a trapezoid is 360, so subtract 216 from 360 (360 - 216 = 144) then divide by 2 (144/2 = 72)
