20 = 8 + 3(12 + 4x)

First, distribute 3:

20 = 8 + 36 + 12x

Add:

20 = 44 + 12x

Subtract 44 to both sides:

-24 = 12x

Divide 12 to both sides:

x = -2

So first, you have to remember the order of operations. That means that whatever is in the parentheses is what has to be done first
However, because one of the numbers in the parentheses is a variable and the other isn't, we can distribute instead
Therefore, 3(12+4x) distributes by multiplying the 3 into both numbers in the parentheses. So we get 36+12x
Now the equation is 20=8+36+12x
Now, bring all numbers without variables on the left side

20-8-36=8-8+36-36+12x
20-8-36=12x

Now simplify

20-8-36=12x
12-36=12x
-24=12x

Divide both sides by 12, and you get x=-2

Hope this helped!!! :D

30°<br> 8 + 6x<br> 4x + 2 <br> in a triangle
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

30 + 4x + 2 = 8 + 6x

Reorder the terms:

30 + 2 + 4x = 8 + 6x

Combine like terms: 30 + 2 = 32

32 + 4x = 8 + 6x

Solving

32 + 4x = 8 + 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

32 + 4x + -6x = 8 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x

32 + -2x = 8 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0

32 + -2x = 8 + 0

32 + -2x = 8

Add '-32' to each side of the equation.

32 + -32 + -2x = 8 + -32

Combine like terms: 32 + -32 = 0

0 + -2x = 8 + -32

-2x = 8 + -32

Combine like terms: 8 + -32 = -24

-2x = -24

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 12

Simplifying

x = 12

What is the length of the diagonal of a square with a side that measures 11 centimeters
timofeeve [1]
A square has 4 equal sides
use pythagroeas theorem since a square has 4 right angles

a^2+b^2=c^2
a=b because the sides are equal (11)

11^2+11^2=c^2
242=c^2
square root both sides
11√2=c

the diagonal legnth is 11√2 centimiters
