3x+5x-12=180
8x=180+12
8x=192
x=192/8
x=24
angle 1 = 5x-12
=5(24)-12
=120-12
=108
angle 2= 3x =3*24=72
angle 1 = angle 9
angle 9= 108
There are 4 terms.
The second term and the fourth term have negative coefficients.
Terms are only negative depending on the value of the variables.
Simply plug in the value for x.
If x is equal to -18, then plug in -18 for x.
Example:
f(x) = 15 + x/5.
f(5) = 15 + 5/5.
Then solve the equation.
A function is just something that receives some value and then barfs a value out. This is an IO relationship. (Input/Output).
