4x - 5(x - 2) = 12x + 4 - x
4x - 5(x) - 5(-2) = 12 - x + 4
4x - 5x + 10 = 11x + 4
-x + 10 = 11x + 4
<u>+ x + x </u>
10 = 12x + 4
<u>- 4 - 4</u>
<u>6</u> = <u>12x</u>
12 12
0.5 = x
Y-(-1)=3(x-3)->y+1=3x-9->y=3x-10 so y=3x-10 is your new line
On a given line, (on one side) there are a total of 180°
if one line in Problem #3 is bisected by a line, with one half X and the other 120°,
do 180° (the total) minus 120° which=60°
now the hard part, that line that bisected the first line is bisecting a line that is parallel to your second line, the one with <5 and <6
this means that the big angle formed in the first one with 120° is the same angle as in the second line, leaving <5 as 120°
which means <6 is 60°, like in the top part of the problem. You're basically flipping the top line upside down, I hope it helps.
x = 30
The distributive property says that we need to multiply what's in the brackets by 1/2 (so 1/2*x and 1/2*6) to get the equation 1/2x + 3 = 18.
Then we need to subtract our constant, 3, from boths sides to get 1/2x = 15.
Multiply both sides by two to isolate x and you get x = 30.
Hope this helps! :)
