Answer:

16 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are corresponding angles and since the lines are parallel, they are equal

5x+18 =7x-14

Subtract 5x from each side

5x+18 -5x=7x-5x-14

18 = 2x-14

Add 14 to each side

18+14 = 2x-14+14

32 = 2x

Divide by 2

32/2 = 2x/2

16 =x

Answer: x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

make it an equation: the equation 5x+18=7x-14

then, solve for x.

steps :

1. add 14 to both sides to get 5x+32=7x

2. subtract 5x to both sides to get 32=2x

3. divide both sides by 2 to get 16=x

Mr. Wilson wants to park his car in his parking garage. To find the cost, he uses the equation D= 3H+6, where D represents the t

charle [14.2K]

Answer: $8\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Mr. Wilson uses the following equation to find the cost:

$D= 3H+6$

Then, if Mr. Wilson spent $30, you can follow these steps in order to calculate how many hours he parked in the parking garage:

1. You need to substitute $D=30$ into the given equation:

$30= 3H+6$

2. Now, you must solve for "H":

$30= 3H+6\\\\30-6=3H\\\\24=3H\\\\\frac{24}{3}=H\\\\H=8$

Therefore, based on the result, you can conclude that Mr. Wilson parked his car in the parking garage for 8 hours.
