Yes you always do.
eg x - 2 = 8
x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2
x = 10
if we plug x = 10 into the original equation we se that this fits:-
10 - 2 = 8
30 since that’s the lowest number both 3 and 10 can fit in
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we are going to make an age table:
Age Now Age 10 years ago
Tanya
Elliot
Filling the in the Age Now column comes from the first sentence. If Elliot is 2 times Tanya's age and we don't know Tanya's age, then Tanya's age is x and Elliot's age is 2x:
Age Now Age 10 years ago
Tanya x
Elliot 2x
Filling in the Age 10 years ago column simply requires that we take their ages in the Age Now column and subtract 10 from each age:
Age Now Age 10 years ago
Tanya x x - 10
Elliot 2x 2x - 10
Since the question is How old is Elliot now based on the fact that 10 years ago....blah, blah, blah, we are using the ages in the 10 years ago column to write our equation. It says:
10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya. Translated into mathspeak:
2x - 10 = 4(x - 10) and
2x - 10 = 4x - 40 and
-2x = -30 so
x = 15. That means that Elliot is 30 and Tanya is 15
Answer:
∠1 = 142°
<u>reason:</u> angles 1 and 2 are supplementary so they equal 180. 180-38 is 142
∠3 = 38°
<u>reason:</u> angles 2 and 3 are adjacent angles because they are diagonal from each other so they will equal the same measure.
∠4 = 142°
<u>reason:</u> since angle 4 is adjacent to angle 1 and is supplementary to angle 3, it has to be 142
∠5 = 38°
<u>reason:</u> since it is a transversal that means both of the intersections are the same measurements. so angle 5 is 38 since it matches up with angle 2
∠6 = 142°
<u>reason:</u> for the same reason as angle 5. angle 6 matches up with angle 1 so it has to equal 142.
∠8 = 142°
<u>reason:</u> since angle 8 is adjacent to angle 6 it has to equal 142. angle 8 is also a transverse angle to angle 4. and since angle 4 also equals 142, 8 has to also
