Answer:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \tt{x = 3}}}}$

<h3>♁ Question : Solve for x</h3>

15x - 7 = 2 + 12x

<h3>♁ Step - by - step explanation</h3>

$\text{15x - 7 = 2 + 12x}$

Move 12x to L.H.S ( Left Hand Side ) and change it's sign

➛ $\sf{15x - 12x - 7 = 2}$

Move 7 to R.H.S ( Right Hand Side) and change it's sign

➛ $\sf{15x - 12x = 2 + 7}$

Subtract 12x from 15x

Remember that only coefficients of like terms can be added or subtracted.

➛ $\sf{3x = 2 + 7}$

Add the numbers : 2 and 7

➛ $\sf{3x = 9}$

Divide both sides by 3

➛ $\sf{ \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}}$

➛ $\boxed{ \bold{ \sf{x = 3}}}$

The value of x is $\boxed{ \sf{3}}$

✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄

☄ Now, let's check whether the value of x is 3 or not!

<h3>☥ Verification :</h3>

$\sf{15x - 7 = 2 + 12x}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{15 \times 3 - 7 = 2 + 12 \times 3}}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{45 - 7 = 2 + 36}}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{38 = 38}}$

L.H.S = R.H.S ( Hence , the value of x is 3 ).

✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄

<h3>✒ Rules for solving an equation :</h3>

If an equation contains fractions ,multiply each term by the L.C.M of denominators.
Remove the brackets , if any.
Collect the terms with the variable to the left hand side and constant terms to the right hand side by changing their sign ' + ' into ' - ' and ' - ' into ' + ' .
Simplify and get the single term on each side.
Divide each side by the coefficient of variable and then get the value of variable.

Hope I helped!

Have a wonderful time ! ツ

Answer: You would put the 35° and the 4x+7° equal to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4x+7=35

2. 4x+7=35 -> Subtract 7 from the positive 7 and the 35

-7 -7

3. 4x=28 -> Divide 4x and 28

4. x=7

Need help please and thanks

Answer:

2. n = 11

4. g = -2

6. t = 21

8. n = 4

10. y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

2. 63 = -3(1 - 2n)

Dividing both the side by negative 3 we get

$-21=1-2n\\2n=1+21\\2n=22\\n=\frac{22}{2} \\\therefore n=11$

4. -g + 2(3 + g) = -4(g + 1)

First we will open the bracket by distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC

$-g+2\times 3 + 2\times g = -4\times g + -4\times 1\\-g+6+ 2g=-4g-4\\\textrm{we will take all the g term the left side and the constant to the right side}\\4g-g+2g=-6-4\\5g=-10\\g=\frac{-10}{5}\\\therefore g=-2$

6.-3(t +5 ) + (4t + 2) = 8

Using distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC we get

$-3\times t + -3\times 5 + 4t + 2=8\\-3t-15+ 4t + 2=8\\t=8+15-2\\t=21\\\therefore t=21\\$

8. -8 - n = -3(2n -4)

Using distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC we get

$-8 - n = -3\times 2n - -3\times4\\-8-n=-6n+12\\\textrm{all the n terms to the left inside and the constant of the right-hand side}\\6n-n=8+12\\5n=20\\n=\frac{20}{5}\\ \therefore n= 4$

10. -4( 2 - y) + 3y = 3(y - 4)

Using distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC we get

$-4\times 2 --4\times y + 3y = 3\times y -3\times 4\\-8+4y+3y =3y-12\\\textrm{all the y terms to the left side and the constant to the right side}\\4y+3y-3y=-12+8\\4y=-4\\y=\frac{-4}{4}\\ \therefore y=-1$

Use the diagram showing m || n, as well as the relationships between interior and exterior angles of ΔABC, to answer the questio

nlexa [21]

The measure of angle ∠ACB is 70°. Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.

∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠CAB = 180°

60° + ∠BCA + 50° = 180°

∠BCA = 180° – 110°

∠BCA = 70°

Then the correct option is C.

The complete question is given below.
