The answer is -12 bc you take away the 3
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
4
Discussion:
As vertical angles are equal, Angle 3 = Angle 2, so
Angle 3 = 3x + 2 (A)
Angles 3 and 7 are corresponding angles and hence equal. So
Angle 3 = Angle 7 => use (A) above and Angle 7 = x + 10
3x + 2 = x + 10 => subtract x from both sides
3x -x + 2 = x - x + 10 =>
2x + 2 = 10 => subtract 2 from both sides
2x = 10 -2 = 8
x = 8/2 = 4
which is the first choice
Thank you,

This is applying the formula

We have a slight problem, though, because we are measuring rate in miles per hour, and we are measuring time in minutes. To make this problem solvable, we need to convert to either miles per minute or convert the time to hours. I'm going to convert the 15 minutes into hours:

Now that all of the units match, we have:

You can finish from there I'm sure.
