Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-1)=8

divide both sides by 2

2(x-1) ➗ 2=8 ➗ 2

x-1=4

Add 1 to both sides

x-1+1=4+1

x=5

Pie

Consider number 17. You know that

17=9+8.

Then for negative numbers you have the same rule (with respect to sign -):

-17=(-9)+(-8).

Since (-9)+9=9+(-9)=9-9=0, you have that

-17+9=(-9)+(-8)+9=(-9+9)+(-8)=0+(-8)=-8.

Answer: -17=(-9)+(-8).

The trick to solving this problem is to know and remember that the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Thus, (6x+1) + (5x-17) + (9x-24) = 180.

20x = -40, so x = -2 (answer)

Need help with this math problem

-BARSIC- [3]

z = 37°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle theorem says that the sum of two internal angles is equal to the exterior angle

In this case the sum of z and z+4 will be equal to z+41

Writing mathematically

$z + z+ 4 = z + 41\\2z+4 = z + 41\\2z -z = 41 -4\\z = 37$

Hence

z = 37°
