Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−6)+12=20

(4)(x)+(4)(−6)+12=20(Distribute)

4x+−24+12=20

(4x)+(−24+12)=20(Combine Like Terms)

4x+−12=20

4x−12=20

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.

4x−12+12=20+12

4x=32

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

| -4 + 5\2 | - (-x) =-3

Leto [7]

Answer:

x = -4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Solving the equation</em></u> :

$\left\vert -4+\frac{5}{2} \right\vert -\left( -x\right) =-3$

$\Longleftrightarrow \left\vert \frac{-8}{2} +\frac{5}{2} \right\vert +x =-3$

$\Longleftrightarrow \left\vert \frac{-8+5}{2} \right\vert +x =-3$

$\Longleftrightarrow \left\vert \frac{-3}{2} \right\vert +x =-3$

$\Longleftrightarrow \frac{3}{2} +x =-3$

$\Longleftrightarrow x =-3-\frac{3}{2}$

$\Longleftrightarrow x =-\frac{6}{2} -\frac{3}{2}$

$\Longleftrightarrow x = -(\frac{6}{2} +\frac{3}{2} )$

$\Longleftrightarrow x =-\frac{9}{2}$

$\Longleftrightarrow x =-4.5$

The measure of 13 of the 14 angles of a 14-gon add up to 2012 degrees. What must the fourteenth angle measure be

skelet666 [1.2K]

The total of the internal angles in a tetradecagon is 2160.

2160 - 2012 = 148

The remaining angle must be 148 degrees.
