Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

We are given: 18x - 2(3x + 1) = 5x - 16

First, lets distribute the -2 to the 3x and 1.

18x - 6x - 2 = 5x - 16

Now, we combine like terms.

12x - 2 = 5x - 16

Next, we add 2 to each side.

12x = 5x -14

Now, we subtract 5x from both sides.

7x = -14

Finally, we divide by 7 on both sides.

x = -2

  Statements:                             Reasons:

  18x - 2(3x + 1) = 5x - 16            Given

  18x - 6x - 2 = 5x - 16                Distributive Property of Equality

  12x - 2 = 5x - 16                       Combine like terms

  12x = 5x -14                              Addition Property of Equality

  7x = -14                                     Subtraction Property of Equality

  x = -2                                        Division Property of Equality

The degree measure of an angle and its supplement are consecutive odd integers. Find the measure of each angle.
Daniel [21]

Answer:

89

91

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary means the pair of angles that have this relationship add up to 180 degrees.

If you assume n is odd, then the very next odd number is n+2.

Example 5 is odd and the next odd number after 5 is 7. This fits the pattern of n and n+2 when n=5.

So we are given the degree measurement of an angle and it's supplement are consecutive odd integers.

So let's pretend the supplement of A is B. This means A+B=180.

We are also given A and B are consecutive odd integers, so this means we are going to let A=n and B=n+2.

Let's put this into our equation for A+B=180:

(n)+(n+2)=180

n  + n+2 =180

2n     +2 =180

Subtract 2 on both sides:

2n          =178

Divide both sides by 2:

 n           =178/2

Simplify right hand side:

 n           =89

If n=89, then n+2=89+2=91.

Does 89+91=180? Yep.

Are 89 and 91 consecutive odd numbers?  Yep.  

Here are some consecutive numbers including those: 89,90,91

Yes 91 is the next odd number after 89.
