X + 2 = 5
____
4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Multiply 4 on both sides:

x + 2 = 5
____
4
x4 x4
----------------
4(x+2) = 4(5) [DONT FORGET TO SIMPLIFY]

4x + 8 = 20
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subtract 8 from both sides:

4x + 8 = 20
-8 -8
---------------------
4x = 12
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Divide by 4

4x = 12
÷4 ÷4
--------------
x = 3

Yes! Let me help you!

Here is the original equation, lets solve this step-by-step

(x + 2)/4 = 5

Now, lets find out how. 

We must apply the inverse operation. 

4/2 is the reciprocal, so lets multiply that to both sides. 

4/2 = 2
5*4 = 20

4x + 8 = 20
      -8      -8            Subtract 8 from both sides. (Inverse operation) 

4x = 12
4x/4  = 12/4             Divide 4 by both sides (Inverse)

x = 12/4
x = 3           Simplified

Answer:  x = 3

A test to detect an infection gives a positive result 98% of the time if a person is infected. It is 97% accurate for people who
Rama09 [41]
If the test gives a positive result for an infected person 98% of the time, that means that 2% of the time, it gives a negative result for an infected person, which would be a false negative.

If the test is 97% accurate for non-infected people, that means that it gives a negative result 97% of the time. So a positive result will be given 3% of the time for non-infected people, which is a false positive.

HELP!!!!!!!!! I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

x=86^{\circ}

y=94^{\circ}

z=54^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's look at the largest triangle (two smaller triangles are combined) to solve for z. Since the sum of the angles in a triangle adds up to 180^{\circ}, we can write the equation:

20+74+32+z=180

z=180-126

z=54^{\circ}

Looking at the smaller triangle on the left, y (exterior angle) is the sum of the two opposite interior angles of the triangle on the left:

y=74+20

=94^{\circ}

Since x is the exterior angle of the triangle on the right, it is equivalent to the sum of the opposite interior angles of that triangle:

x=32+z

=32+54

=86^{\circ}

Hope this helps :)

Find the angles of 22 and 24 thanks
netineya [11]

Answer:

22) 119

24) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

22) 61 + b = 180              <-- supplementary because on the same line

      b = 119                     <-- subtracted 61 from both sides

24) 87 + (6x + 3) = 180        <-- supplementary because on the same line

     87 + 6x + 3 = 180          <-- take out parantheses

     90 + 6x = 180               <-- add like terms

     6x = 90                         <-- subtracted 90 from both sides

     x = 15                            <-- solve for x by dividing 6 from both sides

Find the measure of the arc or angle indicated
MariettaO [177]
Short Answer: arc LM = 110°
Comment

Any two angles that have their end points on the same end points as a chord and both moving away in the same direction (in this case  down ) are equal. This is a fundamental fact about circles.

Equation
2x + 55 =  x + 55
the only way this is going to make any sense is if x = 0. No other value is possible because it will destroy the equality.

Conclusion
Both angles = 55

But that's not what you are asked for.

What you are asked for
You want to know the measure of arc LM.  
The angle connecting the center of the circle with its two arms running through the end points of the chord = the measure of  arc LM

Draw a dot where the center of the circle is and call it O. Draw in <MOL 
<MOL = 2* either of the 55° = 2 (<LKM)  = 2 * 55 = 110° That's a property of the central angle.

The measure of arc LM = 110°
