<h3>
Answer: x = 12</h3>
Explanation:
The two angles shown are vertical angles. This occurs whenever you have an X shape like this, and whenever the angles are opposite one another. Vertical angles are always congruent.
6x+7 = 8x-17
6x-8x = -17-7
-2x = -24
x = -24/(-2)
x = 12
you cant do that because they are not like terms
The "m" in y = mx + b is the <u>slope.</u>
It is the number of units a point goes up, down, left, or right each time. Making the line linear/straight.

"rise" is the the number of units you go up(+) or down(-), "run" is the number of units you go to the right
For example, if your slope is:

You are going up 1 unit, and to the right 2 units
3 or 
You are going up 3 units, and to the right 1 unit

You are going down one unit, and to the right 2 units
-3 or 
You are going down 3 units, and to the right 1 unit
5 consecutive even integers: 2n, 2n+2, 2n+4, 2n+6, 2n+8 for any integer n The sum of the two smallest of five consecutive even integers is 50 less than the sum of the other three integers: 2n + 2n+2 = 2n+4 + 2n+6 + 2n+8 - 504n + 2 = 6n -3234 = 2nn = 17 <span>The smallest integer in our sequence is 2n = 2*17 = 34</span> Check:2n + 2n+2 = 2n+4 + 2n+6 + 2n+8 - 5034 + 36 = 38 + 40 + 42 - 5070 = 120 - 5070 = 70
