Answer: x = 10;

Both the angles are congruent, therefore;

8x - 12 = 6x + 8

=> Now subtract 6x from each side of "="

2x - 12 = 8

=> Add 12 to each side;

2x = 20

=> Lastly divide each side by 2;

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image provided, it shows that both 8x - 12 would equal 6x + 8 because their angles are the same due to their placement. With that it turns into 8x - 12 = 6x + 8. Then you can simplify to 2x = 20 by adding 12 to both sides, and subtracting 6x. Then 20 divided by 2 to get x by itself equaling 10.

The sum of two numbers is 47 and the difference is 25 . what are the numbers?

taurus [48]

The numbers are: 36 and 11 .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
Let us represent the TWO (2) numbers with the variables;
         "x" and "y" .
__________________________________________
     x + y = 47 .

     y − x = 25.
__________________________________________
Since: " y − x = 25 " ;

Solve for "y" in terms of "x" ;

y − x = 25 ;

Add "x" to each side of the equation:
_____________________________________________
   y − x + x = 25 + x ;

to get:

   y = 25 + x .

Now, since:

x + y = 47 ;

Plug in "(25 + x)" as a substitution for "y"; to solve for "x" :

x + (25 + x) = 47 ;

x + 25 + x + 47 ;

2x + 25 = 47 ;

Subtract "25" from each side of the equation:

2x + 25 − 25 = 47 − 25 ;

2x = 22 ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

2x / 2 = 22 / 2 ;

    x = 11 ;
______________________________________________
x + y = 47<span> ;

</span>Plug in "11" for "x" into the equation ; to solve for "y" ;

11 + y = 47 ;

Subtract "11" from EACH SIDE of the equation;
to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;

11 + y − 11 = 47 − 11 ;

            y = 36 .
___________________________________________
So: x = 11 , y = 36 ;
___________________________________________
Let us check our work:

y − x = 25 ;

36 − 11 =? 25 ? Yes!

x + y = 47 ;

36 + 11 =? 47 ? Yes!
______________________________________________
The numbers are: 36 and 11 .

P=175e^-0.090times 25

zysi [14]

Here's my interpretation of your equation:

P=175e^(-0.090*25) (not P=175e^-0.090times 25 )

Then P = 175(0.105) = 18.4, or approx 18.
