Answer:

a) x = 7

b) x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ( x + 5 ) = 6 ( 6 +4 )

⇒ Expand brackets

5 x + 25 = 36 + 24

⇒ Simplify

5 x + 25 = 60

⇒ Minus 25 from both sides to isolate 5 x

5 x = 35

x = 7

3 ( 3 + 5 ) = 4 ( x + 4 )

⇒ Expand brackets

9 + 15 = 4 x + 16

⇒ Simplify

24 = 4 x + 16

⇒ Minus 16 from both sides to isolate 4 x

8 = 4 x

⇒ Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

2 = x

Use an algebraic equation to find the measure of each angle that is represented in terms of X

professor190 [17]

Answer:

16, 74

Step-by-step explanation:

3x +10 + 12x +50 = 90

15x + 60 = 90

15x = 90 -60

15x = 30

x = 30/15

x = 2

3x + 10 = 3*2 +10 = 6 +10 = 16

12x + 50 = 12*2 +50 = 24 + 50 = 74
