Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a number" = x
44 = 8x - 4
Simplify. Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First add 4 to both sides:
44 (+4) = 8x - 4 (+4)
44 + 4 = 8x
48 = 8x
Isolate the variable, x. Divide 8 from both sides:
(48)/8 = (8x)/8
x = 48/8
x = 6
6 is your answer.

If I'm correct 158 and S are supplementary angles, meaning that they both must add up to 180, so to find the answer subtract 158 from 180
180 - 158 = 22
S = 22
4x^2+25=4x^2=-25=x^2=-25/4 has no solution. because, negative number do not live under radical except complex number
