If the equation is let's say 3x+ 7 +4x to combine like terms, you would take 3x and 4x since they both have x. You wouldn't take the 7 since it doesn't have and x like the other numbers. 3x +4x = 7x so your new equation would be 7x + 7.
What do you think and what have you previously learned on the subject?
Supplimentary angles add upto 180 degrees.
Given that angle P is three times angle Q-4 then ;
Let angle P be 3(x-4) = 3x -12
Let angle Q be x
Applying the rule of supplimentary angles;




Divide both sides by 4 to get value of x in degrees

x= 48 degrees
Angle Q = 48 degrees
Angle P = 3x-12 = (3*48)-12 = 132 degrees
Hello there.
<span>Solve this equation
3/4(2x+5=14
First, S</span><span>implify both sides
Next, </span><span>Subtract 15 over 4 from both sides.
Then, </span><span>Multiply both sides by 2 over 3
Final Answer: </span>x=41/6
