Hey there!!

Given equation :

... 2 ( x - ( 3 + 2x ) + 9 ) = 3x - 8

Using the distributive property.

... 2 ( x - 3 - 2x + 9 ) = 3x - 8

... 2 ( -x + 6 ) = 3x - 8

Using the distributive property.

... -2x + 12 = 3x - 8

Subtracting 12 on both sides.

... -2x = 3x - 8 - 12

... -2x = 3x - 20

Subtracting 3x on both sides.

... -2x - 3x = -20

... -5x = -20

Dividing by -5 on both sides.

... x = -20 / -5

... x = 4

<em>Hence, the answer is 4. </em>

Hope my answer helps!

Answer:

11). m∠W = 70°

12). m∠M = 95°

13). m∠Q = 135°

14). m∠Q = 55°

15). m∠X = 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

11). m∠W + m∠X = 180° [Consecutive interior angles]

    (24x - 2) + (36x + 2) = 180°

     60x = 180°

     x = \frac{180}{60}

     x = 3

     Therefore, m∠W = (24x - 2)°

     m∠W = (24×3 - 2)

               = 72 - 2

               = 70°

     Since opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal in measure.

     m∠Y = m∠W = 70°

12). m∠J + m∠K = 180° [Consecutive interior angles]

     (6x + 19) + (8x + 7) = 180°

     14x + 26 = 180

     14x = 180 - 26

     14x = 154

     x = \frac{154}{14}

     x = 11

     m∠K = (8x + 7)

     m∠K = 8×11 + 7

     m∠K = 95°

     Since m∠M = m∠K

     Therefore, m∠M = 95°

13). m∠Q = m∠S [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]

      x + 135 = 2x + 135

      2x - x = 0

      x = 0

      Therefore, m∠Q = 135°

14). m∠Q = m∠S [Opposite angles of a parallelogram]

      14x - 1 = 13x + 3

      14x - 13x = 3 + 1

      x = 4

      m∠Q = (13x + 3)

                = 13×4 + 3

                = 52 + 3

      m∠Q = 55°

15). m∠Z = m∠X

     (19x - 4) = (17x + 8)

      19x - 17x = 12

      2x = 12

      x = 6

      m∠X = (17x + 8)°

      m∠X = 17×6 + 8

      m∠X = 110°

S the expression x3•x3•x3 equivalent to x3•3•3
Artyom0805 [142]
Remember
(x^m)(x^n)=x^(m+n)
and difference of 2 perfect squres
(a²-b²)=(a-b)(a+b)
and sum or difference of 2 perfect cubes

so
(x^3)(x^3)(x^3)=x^(3+3+3)=x^9
so

x^9=3*3*x^3
x^9=9x^3
minus 9x^3 both sides
0=x^9-9x^3
factor
0=(x^3)(x^6-9)
factor difference of 2 perfect squraes
0=(x^3)(x^3-3)(x^3+3)
factor differnce or sum of 2 perfect cubes (force 3 into (∛3)³)
0=(x³)(x-∛3)(x²+x∛3+∛9)(x+∛3)(x²-x∛3+∛9)
set each to zero

x³=0
x=0

x-∛3=0
x=∛3

x²+x∛3+∛9=0 has no solution

x+∛3=0
x=-∛3

x²-x∛3+∛9=0 has no solution



so the solutions are
x=-∛3, 0, ∛3
