Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve for x by isolating the variable.
First, expand the parentheses:
2(x + 1) = 4
2 * x + 2 * 1 = 4
2x + 2 = 4
Then subtract by 2:
2x + 2 - 2 = 4 - 2
2x = 2
Finally, divide by 2:
2x/2 = 2/2
x = 1
Thus, x = 1.

Answer:
JAY
Step-by-step explanation:
because its closest to making a whole number
Here's a diagram showing how to combine angles LDA (in red) and angle ADE (in blue). Hopefully it becomes a bit clearer why these two angles add up to line segment LE. Erase the shared segment DA if it helps show LE better.
See attached image below.
First, convert 5 and 24/10 into a mixed fraction:
5 and 24/10 = 74/10
Now, divide 74/10 by 4:
74/10 ÷ 4 = 74/10 × 1/4
= 74/40
= 37/20
= 1 and 17/20
(Remember that dividing requires you to reciprocate 4)
Hope this helps!
