How do you solve a simple equation?

Answer:

<em><u>Solving Simple Equations</u></em>

When solving a simple equation, think of the equation as a balance, with the equals sign (=) being the fulcrum or center. Thus, if you do something to one side of the equation, you must do the same thing to the other side. Doing the same thing to both sides of the equation (say, adding 3 to each side) keeps the equation balanced.

Solving an equation is the process of getting what you're looking for, or solving for, on one side of the equals sign and everything else on the other side. You're really sorting information. If you're solving for x, you must getx on one side by itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Addition and subtraction equations

Some equations involve only addition and/or subtraction.

Example 1

Solve for x.

x + 8 = 12

To solve the equation x + 8 = 12, you must get x by itself on one side. Therefore, subtract 8 from both sides equation

X+8=12

- 8 - 8

_____ _____

X = 4

To check your answer, simply plug your answer into the equation:

X+8=12

(4)+8=12

12=12

Have to find out what the angle x is respond ASAP pls
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: Angle x equals 19 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: We have two polygons, one with five sides and the other with eight sides. The question states that the pentagon has exactly one line of symmetry which means the line that runs down from point D to line AB divides the shape into exactly two equal sides. Hence angle A measures the same size as angle B (in the pentagon).

First step is to calculate the angles in the pentagon. The sum of angles in a polygon is given as

(n - 2) x 180 {where n is the number of sides}

= 3 x 180

= 540

This means the total angles in the pentagon can be expressed as

A + B + 84 + 112 + 112 = 540

A + B + 308 = 540

Subtract 308 from both sides of the equation

A + B = 232

Since we have earlier determined that angle A measures the same size as angle B, we simply divide 232 into two equal sides, so 232/2 = 116

Having determined angle A as 116 degrees, we can now compute the value of angle A in the octagon ABFGHIJK. Since the figure is a regular octagon, that means all the angles are of equal measurement. So, the sum of interior angles is given as

(n - 2) x 180 {where n is the number of sides}

= 6 x 180

= 1080

If the total sum of the interior angles equals 1080, then each angle becomes

1080/8

= 135 degrees.

That means angle A in the octagon measures 135, while in the pentagon it measures 116. The size of angle x is simply the difference between both values which is

x = 135 - 116

x = 19 degrees

Does 1/2 and 2/7 form a proportion
barxatty [35]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a common denominator, and that is 14. So we convert 1/2 into 7/14 and 2/7 to 4/14, and we see it is not proportional.

What is 14v14 divided by 72 in simplest form?
pychu [463]

Answer:

About 2.72

Step-by-step explanation:

From reading the comments, I suppose you meant v actually means x so:

14 × 14 = 196

196 ÷ 72 ≈ 2.72

Hope this helped! :)
